- Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 38
Things have settled down for Elinor and Marianne after the initial commotion upon the reveal of Edward and Lucy's engagement. A beautiful spring afternoon brings Elinor and Mrs. Jennings out to Kensington Gardens, where they meet up with the elder Miss Steele, who is eager to share the latest. According to her, Edward and Lucy will not break their engagement, despite Edward's loss of fortune, and he plans to join the clergy as soon as he can find an open living. A letter from Lucy confirms that she plans to stand by her man, and she asks Elinor and Mrs. Jennings for any recommendation for a living they may have. As the fallout of Edward and Lucy's engagement continues, let the latest chapter in their story help you fall into a night of soft and gentle sleep.

39 min - Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 37
It's another quiet day in London, until Mrs. Jennings returns home with big news. Over at the Dashwoods, Miss Steele just revealed that her sister Lucy has been secretly engaged to Edward Ferrars! Elinor is relieved that the news is finally in the open, while Marianne is utterly shocked that her sister has been holding this emotional burden all by herself for four months. When their brother John visits the next day, they learn that the fallout for Edward has been severe -- his own mother has disinherited him. Elinor feels for Edward, holding his ground and losing everything for a woman who can give him nothing. It's a sad and shocking development, but while Edward and Lucy may be facing upheaval, their story will bring you peace, as it lulls you into a night of warm and relaxing sleep.

43 min - Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 36
Elinor and Marianne join their brother and sister-in-law for a night out, much to Fanny's chagrin. For Elinor, it's a chance to become acquainted with the one remaining member of the Ferrars family whom she hasn't already met, Edward and Fanny's brother, Robert Ferrars. Unfortunately, he's everything Elinor expected him to be. Meanwhile, Mr. John Dashwood is struck with the idea that he should invite his sisters to stay with him -- an idea that Fanny promptly shuts down by inviting the Steele sisters to visit instead. The Ferrars siblings may continue to disappoint the Dashwoods, but their story will be anything but a disappointment, as it calms you into a night of tranquil and restful sleep.

39 min - Friday Favorites: Emma - Mr. Elton Returns
The newly-engaged Mr. Elton has returned to Highbury, and as a young person in an interesting situation, he is very kindly spoken of. That's unfortunate for Harriet, who is unable to be talked out of love as easily as she was talked into it. Though Emma is sure that Miss Augusta Hawkins won't hold a candle to her dear Miss Smith, that won't stop the immediate problem of Harriet continuing to pine for her lost love. A visit to the Martins might help, and though Emma feels a little guilty for making it a formal visit, she does have to look out for her friend's reputation. As Highbury prepares for the arrival of a new bride in this week's Friday Favorites, let their story help you prepare for the arrival of another night of gentle slumber.

29 min - Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 35
After the unpleasant dinner with Mrs. Ferrars, Elinor finds herself almost grateful that she's not the one engaged to Edward. But Lucy Steele had a thoroughly different experience, and she's called on her "dear friend Elinor" to gloat about how much Mrs. Ferrars and Fanny liked her. While she's there, the two women receive another visitor: none other than Edward Ferrars himself. It's supremely awkward, made even more so when Marianne joins them and addresses Edward with sisterly warmth. Tonight, Edward, Lucy, and Elinor would all rather be anywhere else but here -- but their discomfort will be the source of your comfort, as tonight's story soothes you into a night of warm and relaxing sleep.

32 min - Friday Favorites: Emma - Mr. Elton is Engaged
Mr. Knightley is at Hartfield, and he has exciting news, but before he can reveal it, Miss Bates arrives and spills the beans: Mr. Elton is engaged. After four weeks in Bath, he has met a Miss Hawkins, and they are going to be married. Miss Bates is delighted at the prospect of a new neighbor in Highbury, while Emma is concerned about Harriet (and annoyed at Jane Fairfax's muted reaction to the news). But Harriet's attention is focused elsewhere, on a chance encounter with Mr. Martin, at least until Emma redirects her in a more appropriate direction. This week's Friday Favorites is big news for Highbury, and it's just the kind of news that will fill your mind and help you relax into a night of soft and peaceful sleep.

46 min - Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 34
When Fanny Dashwood finally meets Lady Middleton, it's a match made in heaven, and Fanny even likes Mrs. Jennings -- she likes them all so much that she invites them all to dine with her at their London home. The Miss Steeles are staying with the Middletons, so they'll be joining for dinner too, as will Fanny's formidable mother, Mrs. Ferrars. Fanny and Mrs. Ferrars warm to Lucy Steele's unique charms, while remaining cold towards Elinor, a fact that almost amuses her. But it doesn't amuse Marianne, who only sees their unbearable rudeness and has no choice but to stick up for her sister. All the while, John Dashwood is talking up Elinor to Colonel Brandon, hoping to secure a match between the two. It's a dinner full of misguided assumptions, and while our characters may be wrongheaded, their story is just right to help you into a night of restful and restorative sleep.

36 min - Friday Favorites: Emma - Meet Jane Fairfax
The much-discussed Jane Fairfax has arrived in Highbury, and Emma is determined to have a good opinion of her. Sure, everyone always assumes Jane and Emma are close because of their similar ages, and yes, Jane is superior at playing the piano, but she is very elegant, and Emma highly values elegance. Moreover, Jane's situation as an orphan destined to a life of governessing is truly pitiable. Emma's goodwill lasts for exactly one meeting before Jane's reserve sours her again -- Jane won't even reveal details about her meeting with the elusive Frank Churchill, which is unforgivable. This week's Friday Favorites brings another key character into the world of Highbury, and as it does, let it help you move from the waking world into the sleeping one as you drift into warm and gentle slumber.
