And now a few ads before tonight's story.

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 The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. The

Adventure of the Priory School, Part 2. In the previous part, Sherlock Holmes is drawn into

a high-stakes mystery when the only son of the Duke of Holdenese mysteriously disappears from a prestigious

preparatory school. As Holmes navigates the delicate sensibilities of his aristocratic

clients, he must uncover the truth behind the boy's abduction and its enigmatic connection

to a missing German schoolmaster.

Whilst some of the language in this story has been changed to make it more suitable for sleep,

it still contains themes of violence and death, so listener discretion is advised.

Now that we're caught up with the story so far, let's get out of the story. So listener discretion is advised.

Now that we'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.

So let your eyes fall heavy, and your breath soften as we settle in for a peaceful night's sleep. The adventure of the Priory School

Part 2
