Hello and welcome to Story Time for Grownups. I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. Each episode, I'll read a few chapters from the book,

pausing from time to time to give brief explanations, so it's easier to follow along. It's like an

audiobook with built-in notes.

So brew a pot of tea, find a cozy chair, and settle in.

It's story time. Hi, everyone. This is the last pre-recorded episode. I will be back with you again on Thursday,

the 27th, and I cannot wait. I can't wait to be back with you in real time. Also a reminder that that day,

the 27th, is going to be

our next tea time over in the Storytime for Grownup's Drawing Room. You must be a member of

that. It doesn't mean you're going to sign up for anything just by clicking on it. It will

give you more information. If you'd like to join us for that chat, I hope you will click it. I hope you will join. It's like a phone call,

link and join if that sounds interesting to you. And I am thrilled that I will be back with you

again on that day. And thank you for emailing me. I know I'm getting all your emails, even though

this is pre-recorded. I know it's happening and I will be getting back to you. I will be featuring questions again starting on Thursday. So thank you for bearing with me with all these

pre-recorded episodes as I go on a trip and I'm really excited to be back with you. So last time we read
