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 continuing The Story Girl by L.M. Montgomery.

Chapter 26, Peter makes an impression. And Chapter 27, the ordeal of bitter apples.

In the previous chapters, Paddy the Cat suddenly turned ill once again, and after a serious suggestion

from Peter that he may have been cursed by Beg Bowen,

the local witch, the children brought her offerings in the dead of the night, and strangely,

Pat seemed to be better in the morning. Later, the story girl set up a competition between the boys

to see who could give the best sermon,

and after a flat failure from Beverley, he anxiously waited to hear Peter's attempt.

Before we begin tonight's story, let's get ourselves ready for sleep.

Start by taking a deep, relaxing bread.
