Welcome to send me to sleep, the place to find relaxing stories for a good night's rest.

My name's Andrew. Thanks for joining me.

Tonight I'll be reading, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin,

Chapter 55 and 56

In the previous chapters, after Wickham and Lydia leave for the North,

news arrives that Bingley is returning to Netherfield.

Mr Bennet refuses to meet him, but three days later Bingley visits the Bennets, accompanied by Darcy.

Mrs Bennet forms over Bingley while being rude to Darcy, unaware of his role in helping Lydia.

The gentleman later attend the Bennets for dinner, where Bingley gives Jane much attention, while Darcy, kept away from Elizabeth by happenstance, is unable to talk to her.

Elizabeth resigns herself to believe that Darcy, having been refused once, will not propose again.

Now that we're caught up with the story so far, let's get ourselves ready for sleep.

Start by taking a deep, relaxing bread.

And settle your body in whatever way feels most comfortable.

Now let any thoughts of the day drift away from your mind and simply follow the sound of my voice.
