Friday Favorites: Pride and Prejudice - The Netherfield Ball
The night that all of Hertfordshire has been waiting for is finally here: Mr. Bingley's ball at Netherfield. Elizabeth, looking lovelier than usual, is disappointed to find that Mr. Wickham isn't there, and even more disappointed at her choice of dance partners. After dancing the first two with Mr. Collins, she finds herself dancing with Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth's not one for negativity, so she tries to make the best of the night, but it seems like each member of her family is determined to make the evening as difficult, and humiliating, as possible. In this week's Friday Favorites, return to one of Austen's most beloved ball scenes, and let the evening at Netherfield be your companion into your own evening of soft and restorative sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Persuasion, Chapter 7
It's official: Captain Wentworth is at Kellynch. Conveniently for Anne, her nephew's sprained collar bone offers the perfect excuse for her to stay back when Captain Wentworth calls at Uppercross. But she can't avoid him forever, and a surprise morning visit to Uppercross Cottage brings them back together after nearly eight years apart. Captain Wentworth is in the country with a mind for marriage, but not to Anne Elliot - in fact, he found her "so altered that he should not have known her again." The words linger with Anne long after his short visit is over. As she reflects, let her thoughts fill your mind and help you forget your day as you fall into another night of peaceful slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!
