0:00.0 | Hello there, and welcome to tonight's episode of Down to Sleep. This is a podcast of softly spoken |
0:06.6 | stories to help you get a good night's rest on tonight's episode, The Picture of Dorian Gray by |
0:12.9 | Oscar Wilde. And this is part one of the complete audiobook. I first started reading this book |
0:18.9 | nearly a year and a half ago back at episode two of this |
0:22.1 | podcast. So if it sounds slightly different to the more recent episodes, that is why I think my |
0:26.8 | reading style has slowed down a lot since, and you'll probably hear it slow down through the |
0:31.2 | course of the episodes in this first four-hour chunk of this audiobook. I hope you enjoy this |
0:36.7 | reading, and then it helps you get down to sleep. |

1:05.5 | you. Thank you for listening and enjoy the picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. |
1:14.5 | Chapter 1. The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, |
1:21.1 | there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the |
1:26.6 | pink flowering thorn. From the corner of the |
1:30.3 | divan of Persian saddlebags on which he was lying, smoking, as was his custom, innumerable |
1:36.4 | cigarettes. Lord Henry Watton could just catch the gleam of the honey-sweet and honey-colored |
1:43.4 | blossoms of a laburnum, |
1:45.2 | whose tremulous branches seemed hardly able to bear the burden of a beauty so flam-like as theirs. |
1:51.5 | And now and then, the fantastic shadows of birds in flight flitted across the long-to-saw silk curtains |
