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 3, Legends of the Old Orchard, and Chapter 4, the Wedding Vale of the Proud Princess. In the previous chapters, Beverly and Felix had arrived at their father's family home on Prince Edward Island late in the evening, and had had supper with their cousins and

auntie for the first time.

In the morning, they rose early before the others to explore the farm by themselves, where they

soon met Sarah, the story girl, and were immediately enchanted by her.

We left them last as they headed towards the family's fabled orchard. Before we begin tonight's story, 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.
