Jane Austen Bedtime Stories – Détails, épisodes et analyse

The night we've all been waiting for is finally here - it's time for the ball! Settle in under the covers for an evening where all the major players in Highbury get their time to shine. From Miss Bates (heard without interruption for many minutes) to Mrs. Elton (nobody could care less for dress than her, but please take note that nobody else wore pearls tonight), this ball has it all. Not to mention Mr. Knightley gallantly stepping in to save Harriet from humiliation after Mr. Elton rudely snubs her on the dance floor. And to cap it off, Emma herself gets a dance with Mr. Knightley. What a delightful night! Let the finery of the evening help you forget your day and drift off into a night of gentle and restorative sleep.

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.

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.

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.

Frank is out of town today to get his hair cut, giving Emma the perfect opportunity to get the Westons' advice on a situation that's been vexing her. The Coles, a Highbury family, are hosting a dinner party. Even though the Coles are decidedly inferior to the Woodhouses (they made their fortune in trade), all of Emma's friends will be there and she's tempted to go - what a connundrum. The Westons, never ones to decline a good time, encourage her to go, and even help her make arrangements for her father. Everything is ready for the big event! All that's left is to get a good night's rest to prepare. Let Emma and her dinner plans help soothe you into deep relaxation and carry you off into peaceful slumber.

Frank Churchill and Emma (and Mrs. Weston) are out on the town - exploring Highbury, that is. Frank seems enchanted by everything, and even has some new information to share about the frustratingly reserved Miss Jane Fairfax. He and Emma are so perfectly in sync, it seems as though she's always known him. How charming! As they take a turn through the town, let their journey lead you on your own journey into another night of restful sleep.

Harriet's fifteen minutes at the Martins goes just about as well as Emma could expect - such a pity that their social standing isn't ever-so-slightly higher so that it would be an appropriate match! But luckily there's a wonderful new distraction in town, the one and only Mr. Frank Churchill. He's finally here, and he certainly knows how to lay it on thick. Emma is intrigued, and a good night's sleep will help her sort out all her feelings. Let her adventures help you into your own good night's sleep as you rest and relax with tonight's story.

Mr. Elton is back in town, and everyone's talking about his new bride. The soon-to-be Mrs. Elton is from a good, if unremarkable family, and most importantly of all, has ten thousand pounds. Emma is most concerned about the effect of this news on poor Harriet - along with her renewed acquaintance with the Martins, this has been a lot for her to handle. Everyone could use a rest, and that is exactly what you will get as this week's story helps ease you into a night of restful sleep.
