Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen | Fall Asleep With Me

“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.”

This was the first recorded episode of my "Sleep Story" series, with which I hoped, and continue to hope, to facilitate your transition to sleep. 

In this episode, I read to you an excerpt from Jane Austen's finest work, "Pride and Prejudice". 

We jump into the plot in media res: it's the moment in the story at which Lady Catherine (rather unsubtly, and with complete indecorum) tries to dissuade Elizabeth from pursuing Mr. Darcy--to whom Lady Catherine wishes to wed her own daughter. 

Listen as long as you can! Hopefully, by its end, you're sound asleep.

When you wake, be sure to like, comment, subscribe, and, most important of all, share with a few friends. 

Thank you and sweet dreams!
