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 4 and 5.

In the previous chapter, Monsieur de Treville reprimands Aramis, Portos and Atos, for losing a fight with the Cardinals'

guards, but his anger softens when Atos, weakened from his injury, dramatically enters and soon collapses, causing a rush for a doctor. Afterward, Treveille takes an interest in D'Artagnan's story,

testing his loyalty with praise for the Cardinal. D'artagnan's sincere response reassures him,

but their conversation is interrupted when D'Artagnan spots his enemy and rushes

out to confront him.

Tonight's episode contains themes of violence that some listeners may find unsettling.

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 4
