Jane Austen Bedtime Stories episodes
- Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 1
It's time to get acquainted with our new protagonists: the Dashwoods. Long settled at Norland Park in Sussex, the family is shaken up by the unexpected death of patriarch Mr. Henry Dashwood, leaving the estate in the hands of his well-to-do son from his first marriage, Mr. John Dashwood. His second wife and their three daughters are left with little. The two eldest daughters, Elinor and Marianne, handle their grief very differently - Elinor, full of sense, keeps her emotions in check, while Marianne, led by sensibility, feels deeply without restraint. With the death of their father, the stage is set for their lives to change dramatically. As their story begins, settle in with our newest novel and let it carry you away from your day and into another night of gentle and restorative sleep.

2 min - Friday Favorites: Pride and Prejudice - Lydia is Found
Longbourn is aflutter with the arrival of an express from London - Lydia has been found at last! She and Wickham are not yet married, but soon will be, as long as Mr. Bennet agrees to the terms of the agreement that Mr. Gardiner has secured. The cost to the Bennets is much less than they were expecting, leading them to suspect that their dear uncle has paid more money to Wickham than they can ever hope to repay. It's a troubling thought, but at least the Bennet daughters can occupy themselves with handling their mother's renewed energy towards wedding clothes. Securing Wickham and Lydia's marriage may have cost ten thousand pounds, but this week's Friday Favorites is free, so let it accompany you as you relax into a night of deep and restorative sleep.

25 min - Friday Favorites: Pride and Prejudice - The Search for Lydia
Mr. Bennet and Mr. Gardiner are both in London, doing their best to uncover where Lydia and Wickham may be hiding. No one knows of any of Wickham's friends or relations - all they have been able to uncover is lots and lots of gambling debts. A letter from Mr. Collins offers nothing more than his unhelpful opinions, and eventually Mr. Bennet makes his way home, leaving the Gardiners to continue the search. This week's Friday Favorites is exhausting business, so let the story help you beat your own exhaustion by falling into another night of peaceful and relaxing sleep.

43 min - Friday Favorites: Pride and Prejudice - Lydia Has Eloped
There's only been one thing missing from Elizabeth's time in Derbyshire, and that's a letter from Jane, but luckily she's just received two. Unfortunately for her, the letters bear calamitous news - Lydia has run away from Brighton...with Mr. Wickham. What's worse, Mr. Darcy happened to call at the exact time that Elizabeth got the news, and is now privy to the whole scandalous truth. This week's Friday Favorites brings an end to Elizabeth and Darcy's budding friendship (or so Elizabeth believes), so let it also help you bring an end to your day as the comforting story brings you into another night of deep and restorative slumber.
