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

Chapter 19 to 21.

In the last chapter, Elizabeth is disappointed to find that Officer Wickham is not in attendance at Bingley's Bowl, allegedly

due to Darcy's presence.

Elizabeth endures awkward dances with Mr Collins and Darcy, during which she covertly questions him on Wickham.

Miss Bingley warns Elizabeth not to trust Wickham, but Elizabeth dismisses the warning as spiteful.

Due to Mr Collins' awkward conversation, Mrs Bennet's loud boasting and Mary's terrible singing,

Elizabeth leaves the ball, feeling her family has totally embarrassed itself.

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

Start by taking a deep, relaxing breath 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. Now that your eyes fall heavy, and your breath soften.

As we settle in for a peaceful night's sleep. You're going to. Chapter 19
