Good evening and welcome to the Sleepy Bookshelf, where we put down our worries from the day and pick up a good book

i'm your host elizabeth thank you so much for coming along this evening. Tonight we are continuing with Rainbow Valley.

But before we do, let's take some time to put the day behind us.

Imagine you are taking a walk, like the Ingleside children, through their favourite spots in Four Winds.

Perhaps that's Rainbow Valley, with the bells gently tinkling on the tree lovers,

or down the shore at Four Winds Harbour.

Wherever you are in your mind, I'll give you some time to think about what you can see all around you.

Try to see your surroundings from Anne's perspective

and choose to delight in the details.

Take a deep breath in

and imagine what you can smell. When you exhale, come to a stillness and now focus on what you might hear.

Stay where you are in your mind. focus on what you might hear.

Stay where you are in your mind, as I recap our last episode.

After two donuts on her veranda, Una asked if Miss Cornelia would not take

in Mary herself, and Miss Cornelia, or Mrs. Elliot, as she should really be called, promised to discuss

it with Marshall, her husband.

He agreed immediately with seemingly no thought, and Miss Cornelia announced her decision

at Ingleside the next day.

The Mance children missed having Mary around.
