- Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 43
Marianne is still unwell, and her illness is worse than everyone first thought. When the apothecary mentions an infection, the Palmers quickly set off to protect themselves. Mrs. Jennings is convinced of the worst, while Elinor does not allow herself to imagine such an outcome. But when Marianne becomes feverish and delirious, they send Colonel Brandon to fetch her mother. Eventually, her recovery takes a turn for the better, and Elinor is relieved. 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.

After their outing in Highbury, Emma and Harriet join Frank and Mrs. Weston at the Bateses' to hear Jane Fairfax's new pianoforte.

As our protagonists continue their afternoon in Highbury, let their story in this week's Friday Favorites help you settle in for a night of soft and restorative sleep.

After Colonel Brandon departs, Elinor has the unenviable task of telling Edward of his offer. She decides a letter is best, but before she can sit down to write, Edward himself arrives at her door. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, his gratitude toward Colonel Brandon, and toward Elinor, is sincere, and they part on good terms.

As Elinor's story progresses, let it help you on your way into another night of soft and restful sleep.

Frank Churchill is back in Highbury, and it's just in time for the dinner party at the Coles'. The party is abuzz with the news that Jane Fairfax received a surprise gift: a pianoforte, delivered to the Bates's home.

But that's not the only thing on Emma's mind. Her flirty banter with Frank is interrupted by Mrs. Weston's suggestion that none other than Mr. Knightley might be in love with Jane Fairfax -- could it be so? It's an eventful evening, and perfect for an extra-long Friday Favorites, as our return to Highbury society takes you away from your day and into a night of warm and gentle sleep.

32 min - Friday Favorites: Emma - An Intriguing Invitation
After just a few days in Highbury, Frank Churchill jets off to London for a day, merely to have his hair cut. To Emma, that conveys a bit of foppery, but all young people have their little whims, after all. At least Frank's absence gives her time to consult with the Westons about whether to accept an invitation to dinner at the Coles. The Coles made their fortune through trade, so it would be most appropriate for Emma to refuse their invitation ... but it is so thoughtfully given, and all her dearest friends will be there. The Westons advise her to attend, and it's just the advice Emma is hoping to hear. This week's Friday Favorites brings you deeper into the complex social dynamics of Highbury, and it's just the thing to help you end your week with a night of restful sleep.
