Notes de l’épisode
When Emma returns from calling on the Bates household, she is greeted by an unwelcome surprise: Mr. Knightley is departing for London, to spend some time with John and Isabella. But Emma's disappointment is quickly overshadowed by the news that Frank's aunt, Mrs. Churchill, has died. The loss of her ominous presence means that Frank is free to do what he wants, which Emma believes will bode well for Harriet, although Harriet herself appears unmoved. Meanwhile, Emma's efforts to make amends with Jane Fairfax are steadily declined, leaving Emma truly regretting her past bad behavior. This week's Friday Favorites brings even more changes to the status quo, and as it does, let Emma's reflections fill your mind and bring you into another night of gentle sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
Now that Catherine has a new friend, her horizons are quickly expanding. Her meeting at with Isabella the pump-room brings new novels, new styles, even new ways of thinking of young men. Catherine's friendship with Isabella has made her time in Bath infinitely more pleasurable, and The Mysteries of Udolpho are a perfect distraction from the still-absent Mr. Tilney. As the two young women's friendship blossoms, let it carry you into a night of soft and relaxing sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
Emma, full of contrition for her behavior at Box Hill, calls on the Bates household early the next morning to make amends. When she arrives, she finds the ladies in disarray, because Jane Fairfax has surprised them all by agreeing to accept a governess position with one of Mrs. Elton's friends. Emma is truly sorry to hear it, regretting her own past cruelty, and seeing Jane's sincere distress at the thought of leaving her dear family. At least Emma's inquiries seem to have restored her to Miss Bates's good graces. Things are changing rapidly in Highbury, and as they do, let this week's Friday Favorites comfort you into a night of warm and restorative sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
Mr. Tilney is still missing, but Catherine and Isabella's friendship is quickly growing deeper. They bond over the many interests that unite young women, dresses, balls, flirtations, and most of all, novels. While some people may disparage novels, for our young heroine and her new intimate friend, they are the height of entertainment. Their new friendship is the highlight of Catherine's time in Bath so far, at least until Mr. Tilney returns, whenever that may be. As Catherine and Isabella grow closer, let their companionship accompany you into a night of peaceful sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
It's time at last for the day Emma has long been awaiting: the visit to Box Hill. With their picnic baskets in tow, the Highbury set make their way to explore the nearby attraction. But the summer heat is getting to Frank Churchill, and he is still out of sorts. The party's lunchtime game takes a sour turn when, egged on by Frank, Emma takes her wit too far, injuring the good-hearted Miss Bates in the process. It's badly done, indeed, and Mr. Knightley lets her know it. Our latest Friday Favorites may be a difficult day for Emma, but it's a pivotal point in her story, so let her latest chapter help you fall into a night of restful slumber.

The weather is getting warmer, and that means it's the perfect time to explore the great outdoors. When the initial plan of going to Box Hill is delayed, Mr. Knightley invites a party of friends to his home at Donwell Abbey to partake in his bountiful strawberry harvest. Mrs. Elton quickly tires herself out, Mr. Woodhouse spends his time indoors with a fire, and Jane Fairfax departs Abbey early, just as Frank Churchill arrives late and out of spirits. It's an eventful afternoon for everyone, and this week's Friday Favorites takes us around the Highbury set, so let their visit to the Abbey carry you away into a night of peaceful and restorative sleep.

After a week in Bath, Catherine Morland has finally made an acquaintance, and he's a delightful one. She's introduced to a young man named Tilney, who is lively, intelligent, and nearly handsome. He's a witty dance partner, and Catherine is smitten. Mr. Tilney's knowledge of muslins even charms Mrs. Allen. Meanwhile, Mr. Allen's inquiries leave him satisfied that Mr. Tilney is a respectable clergyman from Gloucestershire, and perfectly appropriate for his young charge. Things are at last looking up for our heroine, and as they do, let Mr. Tilney's charms bring you into a night of soft and restful sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
Summer has arrived at Hartfield, and it's full of schemes and connivances, at least for Emma. But Mr. Knightley isn't so sure that her hopes will come to fruition. He's lately observed that there appears to be some sort of understanding, perhaps even admiration, between Frank Churchill and none other than Jane Fairfax. The more he sees, the surer he is, and he knows he must let Emma know his suspicions. But Emma will have none of it; after all, she's the one who is a keen judge of character, not Mr. Knightley. Our latest Friday Favorites brings another character into the romantic fold, and as it does, let it help you ease your mind into a night of gentle slumber.

Notes de l’épisode
Armed with advice from her mother and ten guineas from her father, Catherine Morland is ready to set off on her journey to Bath with the Allens. But when they arrive, they realize that it will be harder than they realized to fit in. Though they are well-dressed, thanks to Mrs. Allen's fashion sense, they have no acquaintances in Bath. Catherine's first ball involves more watching from the sidelines than dancing with handsome men. But at least she overhears some gentlemen calling her pretty, which is more than enough to keep her in good spirits for now. As Catherine gets settled in Bath, let her story help you settle in for a night of warm and peaceful sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
Catherine Morland may not have been born to be a heroine, but she's about to find out what it's like to become one. She has emerged from a childhood filled with dirt, sports, and other tomboyish pursuits into an adolescence of novels and poetry, perfect preparation for a soon-to-be heroine. All that remains is for her to find a hero, which is hard to do in her small Wiltshire village of Fullerton. Luckily, the Morlands well-to-do neighbors, the Allens, invite her to accompany them to Bath, which is the perfect place for a young lady to find some adventure. As Catherine's journey begins, let her story help you relax and begin your own journey into a night of soft and restorative sleep.

We've once again made it through another novel, and we're back in your feed to announce what's coming next!
We're so grateful for your continued support as we made our way through Sense and Sensibility, and we're thrilled to announce that our next bedtime stories novel will be: Northanger Abbey!
As the weather becomes cooler and the nights get longer, Jane Austen's foray into Gothic fiction will be the perfect cozy companion for those long winter nights.
We're taking this Monday off to prepare (even Bedtime Stories needs a rest!), and will be back next Monday to join young Catherine Morland as her journey of growth and self-discovery becomes our next bedtime stories journey. And don't worry, we'll still have a classic story from Emma for you this Friday.
Thank you again to each and every one of our dedicated listeners. We couldn't have made it this far without you, and we can't wait to begin another story with you next week!

Notes de l’épisode
With Frank Churchill back in town, there is at last nothing to prevent the long-awaited Highbury ball from taking place. Though Frank is noticeably cooler towards Emma than before, it doesn't bother her too much, because her night is full of laughter, dancing, and lots of chatter from Miss Bates. And when Mr. Knightley gallantly steps up to save Harriet from a terribly rude snub from Mr. Elton, Emma is delighted. The two end the night dancing together -- what more could Emma ask for? This week's Friday Favorites brings a beloved Highbury highlight, and as it does, let the warm and familiar story help you find your way into a night of peaceful sleep.

This week's Friday Favorites brings us the final stretch of Emma's Hartfield dinner party, and Mr. Weston and Mrs. Elton have found each other for a lively conversation.

Nonetheless, it's an entertaining exchange, and it's the source of the most important development of all: the news of Frank Churchill's returning to town. As the party concludes and the Highbury set prepare for the return of a favorite acquaintance, let them help you conclude your week with a night of warm and restful sleep.

Elinor must come to terms with Edward's marriage to Lucy. That's what she's trying to convince herself of, when none other than Edward himself shows up at the Dashwoods' doorstep. They all believe he must be at Barton to break the news himself, and so they wish him and Mrs. Ferrars joy. But their wishes are met with confusion, and then the realization that they have been misinformed. Lucy Steele has recently been married, but she is now Mrs. Robert Ferrars, not Mrs. Edward Ferrars. The emotions that Elinor has been keeping inside finally erupt to the surface in tears of joy; Edward is free. As her story at last begins its way towards its happy ending, let it comfort you ask you make your way into a night of happy and peaceful sleep.

When they all discover that Jane walked to the post office this morning in the rain, it quickly becomes a hot topic of conversation.

This week's Friday Favorites starts another classic Highbury party, where characters and social dynamics are on full display, and as it does, let the familiar scenes help you find your way into another night of warm and restful sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
Back at Barton, the Dashwoods come together to reflect after Elinor tells her family of what was said during Willoughby's visit. Marianne is slowly understanding that Willoughby would never have been a good match for her, though it takes her time to come to terms with the realization. Elinor helps as best she can, but her calm is suddenly disrupted when the Dashwoods' manservant comes home with news of seeing the new Mrs. Ferrars in Exeter. It's the moment Elinor has been dreading, and though her emotions may be less visible than Marianne's, they are no less strong. It's a season of adjustment for the two eldest Dashwood sisters, and as they settle into a new normal, let their story help you settle into a night of restful and restorative slumber.

Notes de l’épisode
Mrs. Elton is settling into Highbury, and has yet to give Emma any reason to reconsider her initial opinion of her. In fact, Mrs. Elton fixes on another young lady as the target of her attention, none other than Jane Fairfax. What is most surprising to Emma is that Jane Fairfax seems to go along with it, even though Emma is sure she knows better. A discussion with her friends Mrs. Weston and Mr. Knightley reassures Emma of one important thing, however, that Mr. Knightley seems uninterested in Jane Fairfax as anything other than a friend. This week's Friday Favorites is a peek into the dynamics of Highbury society, and as new connections form, let them help you connect with a deeper state of relaxation as you fall into soft and gentle sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
Marianne's recovery continues, and the Dashwoods are at last able to depart Cleveland and make their way back home to Barton. Illness has made Marianne more reflective than usual, and she is sincere in her desire to improve herself and express gratitude to her loved ones. The contrition convinces Elinor that it is all right to tell Marianne about Willoughby's visit and the feelings he expressed about his own role in the matter. The conversation overwhelms the still-delicate Marianne, and she needs to take time to rest and recover. As she does, let the latest chapter in her story help you find your way into your own rest and recovery as you drift into a night of deep sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
Highbury has a new resident, and she is certainly something. At long last, Mr. Elton's bride has arrived, and Emma finds her positively insufferable. Between Mrs. Elton's comparisons between Highbury and her brother's estate, Maple Grove, her insistence that she and Emma start a musical club, and her overly familiar way of speaking about Emma's friends, Emma is hard-pressed to find a single redeeming quality. This week's Friday Favorites brings another memorable character into the fold, so join Mrs. E as her introduction helps relax you into a night of warm and peaceful sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
Willoughby may be gone, but Colonel Brandon and Mrs. Dashwood have arrived, and they are thankful to hear that Marianne is on her way to recovery. And Mrs. Dashwood brings even better news: Colonel Brandon has confessed his love for Marianne. She is delighted that such a kind and honorable man is in love with her daughter, and is sure that Marianne will be happier with Colonel Brandon than she ever would have been with Willoughby (who she always found suspicious, of course). It's a family reunion for the Dashwoods, and as mother and daughters finally reconnect, let their story reconnect you with rest, relaxation, and restorative sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
Frank Churchill has left Highbury, leaving Emma to contemplate her feelings. Could she be in love? Emma is unconvinced of her own feelings for Frank, though it's evident that he has clearly formed an attachment to her. And an offhand comment in his latest letter suggests that he could be convinced to have some affection for Harriet, which is a comfort to Emma, because Mr. Elton's wedding date has finally been set and his bride will soon be coming to town. As Emma reflects on one departure and prepares for a new arrival, let her story in this week's Friday Favorites help you end your week and drift into a night of restful and restorative sleep.

Notes de l’épisode
Willoughby has arrived at Cleveland, and he is demanding to be heard. Though Elinor is skeptical, she gives him a chance to tell his side of the story. He is apologetic in his own way, confessing his real love for Marianne, while feeling constrained by circumstances to enter into a loveless marriage. All Elinor can do is listen as he tells his story of woe and lost love. It's an engrossing tale, so let Willoughby charm you one last time as his story takes you on your way into another night of soft and peaceful sleep.

And the upturn is just in time for the arrival of a carriage outside. But to Elinor's great surprise, her mother hasn't arrived; the visitor is none other than Willoughby. It's an emotional roller coaster, and as Elinor navigates the ups and downs, let her story bring you comfort as you drift into a night of restorative and healing sleep.
