here's a short word from our sponsors. 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 Three Musketeers by Alexander Damas, chapters 19 and 20.

In the previous chapters, after the king confronts the queen about the diamond brooch,

he inadvertently reveals that the

cardinal knows all.

Distraught, the queen despairs over retrieving it before the ball.

Overhearing her distress, Madame Bonnassur offers to help and suggests sending her husband to London to inform the

Duke. However, he quickly proves himself untrustworthy and leaves to report her plan. D'Artagnan arrives

just in time, overhears the situation, and passionately offers to undertake

the mission himself. Touched by his devotion, Madame Bonacieux agrees, and a growing

affection begins to blossom between them.

Now that we're caught up with the story so far, let's get ourselves ready for sleep.

Start by taking a deep, relaxing bread.

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.
