Emma, Volume 2, Chapter 12
Good news (planning the ball!) is immediately followed by bad, as Emma finds out that Frank Churchill has to leave Highbury. Before he goes, though, he stops by and strongly hints that he is falling in love with her. Emma's sadness at his leaving means that she might be in love with him too, at least a little bit...right? Well, that is what she will tell herself for now, and in the meantime she will try to find another way to fill her time. As Emma contemplates her feelings, let her thoughts carry you off on a journey into rest and relaxation.

Emma, Volume 2, Chapter 11
Emma is planning a ball! After one delightful evening of dancing, Frank Churchill is eager to organize another one, and so the preparations begin. There are so many things to decide - is the parlour at Randalls large enough? How can they assuage Mr. Woodhouse's fears that they will all catch cold? And should there be a full supper, or, as Mrs. Weston suggests only sandwiches? (Don't worry, a ball without supper is quickly pronounced an infamous fraud upon the rights of men and women, and Mrs. Weston will never speak of it again.) Emma is caught up in the excitement, and this week's story will fill your mind as well, taking you off into another night of restful slumber.

Emma, Volume 2, Chapter 10
Emma and her friends make their way to the Bateses', and finally see Jane Fairfax's storied pianoforte in the flesh. Frank Churchill's pointed speculations about the gift-giver soon give way to a mostly one-sided conversation between Miss Bates and Mr. Knightley, who is passing by the house, and before Emma knows it, the entire morning has passed her by. Join her in getting lost in conversation as this week's story helps you gently drift off into peaceful and restorative sleep.

Emma, Volume 2, Chapter 9
After a successful night at the Coles', Emma is in good spirits. But the mystery of Jane Fairfax's pianoforte still remains, and after a run-in with Mrs. Weston, Frank Churchill, and Miss Bates in town (including a rather lengthy aside from Miss Bates about her morning), Emma is on her way to the Bates's to see the instrument for herself. A day in Highbury is never dull, so let Emma's latest adventure help take your mind off your day and carry you into a night of rest and relaxation.

Emma, Volume 2, Chapter 8 - Part 2
The intrigue of the evening at the Coles continues to deepen, as Mrs. Weston comes to Emma with a new theory. Could Mr. Knightley be the one who gave Jane Fairfax the mystery pianoforte? Could he perhaps be interested in marrying her? The idea vexes Emma immediately - on behalf of her nephew, of course, who could lose his inheritance if Mr. Knightley married and had his own children. Emma is certainly not disturbed on her own behalf, absolutely not. Speculative matches are being made left and right, so let the thickening plot occupy your mind tonight and comfort you into blissful sleep.

Customer Reviews
Emma
Pride and prejudice was good but on Emma the narrator was too fast and louder. It was not as soothing to go to sleep to.
Hyper speed
I love the subject matter and how the books are so well known that I can relax, however the new narrator reads so quickly that it’s impossible to relax and be lulled to sleep. I deeply appreciated the slow, soothing pace that was the previous narrator and encourage the new one to slow down as well. She has a nice voice and I believe concentrating on delivering the story in a calm and relaxing manner will be beneficial for many.
Love!
I’ve listened to some episodes several times and am going to do my first full listen of Pride & Prejudice since the podcast started. The familiarity of the story with the soothing voice sends me off to sleep!
