Then, as Charlotte watched, the pretty lady with the blue eyes came along the footpath.

Charlotte had never seen her before, and hadn't the slightest idea in the world who she was.

But that was what she called her as soon as she first saw her.

The lady was so pretty, with lovely blue eyes that were very sad.

Although somehow, as you looked at them, you felt that they ought to be laughing, merry eyes instead. At least Charlotte thought so, and wished her once that she knew how to make them laugh. I don't know. Come with us once again into the charming literary world of Lucy Maud Montgomery

as we explore three more of her short stories on Send Me to Sleep Premium.

In these special premium episodes, we'll be reading The Golden Wedding, the story of a man

returning home to find his aunt and uncle in a sad situation. The redeeming sacrifice, the story of a local

near-do-well forced to make a hard choice, and Charlotte's Ladies, the story of a young

orphan girl with an exciting secret.

Each of these stories holds true to the enchanting, wistful and beautifully grounded

tales we've come to expect from Montgomery, with the same even-paced and witty writing

style that makes such a welcome companion to sleep.

If you'd like to listen to these stories, as well as all the other premium exclusive stories,

you can find a link to a seven-day free trial in the description notes, and you can cancel

any time if you feel it's not right

for you.

If you already support the podcast with Send Me to Sleep Premium, I want to say a huge thank you.

We couldn't keep making this podcast without you.

And it truly means the world to be able to continue reading these stories for you.

Either way, we'll see you next week for the start of our new story, A Little Princess

Hodgson-Bernett.
