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 de Mass. Chapter 30 and 31. In the previous chapters, Atos and D'Artagnan agree to dismiss

Atos's drunken revelations from the previous night,

and the group returns to Paris, reuniting with their friends along the way.

They find letters from Monsieur de Treville, instructing them to prepare for a campaign,

which leaves them scrambling for funds.

Portos is the first to resolve his financial dilemma by rekindling his relationship with

Madame Conquenard. While witnessing this, D'Artagnan is distracted by the sight of the

mysterious woman from Mung, whom he correctly suspects to be

milady, a dangerous agent of the cardinal. Now that you'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 bread soften as we settle in for a peaceful night's sleep. Chapter 30
