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 Maas.

Chapters 53 and 54.

In the previous chapters, the Cardinal grows impatient for news from Melady as the siege drags on, with the Rochelies,

hoping for Buckingham's arrival.

Meanwhile, the Cardinal encounters the musketeers reading a letter in the Dunes.

After a tense exchange with Atos, who dares to insult him, the Cardinal leaves, more determined to have them on his side than ever. The letter from Madame de Chavroes reveals that Madame

Bonassoul is safe in a caramelite convent in Bethune.

Overjoyed, the musketeers planned to rescue her after the siege.

Meanwhile, in England, the Lady desperately plots her escape as her banishment looms.

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. Chapter 15 Chapter 53
