Sir Walter's meeting with Admiral Croft is satisfactory, and their agreement is finalized, which means that the Elliots are off to Bath. Or rather, Sir Walter and Elizabeth are headed to Bath, but they will be joined by Mrs. Clay instead of Anne. It's quite an affront, but one that is softened somewhat by an invitation from Anne's other sister, Mary, to stay with her at her home in Uppercross. So Anne is staying close by to Kellynch instead. At least she's wanted here, which is more than she can say for Bath. As she settles in with Mary's in-laws, the Musgroves, let her story help you settle in under your covers as you drift away into a night of gentle sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Friday Favorites: Pride and Prejudice - Jane and Elizabeth Arrive at Netherfield
Jane's been invited to dine with the ladies of Netherfield, and it looks like rain, so of course she must go on horseback.

In this week's Friday Favorites, revisit the Bennets' visits to Netherfield (Mrs. Bennet stops by too, to let Mr. Darcy know they dine with four-and-twenty families), and let them help you close out your week and enter your weekend feeling refreshed by a good night's sleep. -----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Persuasion, Chapter 3
As much as it pains him, the proud Sir Walter must decide who will be the new tenant of Kellynch Hall. Luckily, Mr. Shepherd has just the tenant in mind: an Admiral Croft. Though Sir Walter generally finds naval officers displeasing (their faces are just so weathered), there's a certain charm in letting one's home to an Admiral - their station is just high enough, without being too high to embarrass a baronet. For Anne, the choice of tenant holds particular significance, for Admiral Croft's wife is none other than the sister of Mr. Wentworth, and he could be back at Kellynch very soon, indeed. Things are moving for the Elliots and Kellynch Hall, and as they do, let this week's story move you on your own way into gentle and restorative sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!
