Hey, it's Otis here. Before we get

0:03

to the bedtime reading, I wanted to let you

0:05

know that I just launched a brand new show.

0:08

It's called The Daily Book Club, a daytime

0:10

companion to Sleepy, where you hear entire books,

0:12

one chapter at a time, one day at

0:15

a time. Simple as that. So

0:17

if Sleepy is how you wind down your

0:19

day, The Daily Book Club is a great

0:21

way to start your day. There's

0:23

new episodes daily. I

0:25

read in a slightly peppier voice so that

0:28

you can get really lost in these amazing

0:30

stories that have stood the test of time.

0:33

Or just like Sleepy, you can sit back and

0:35

relax and zone out to a good book. The

0:37

first book we'll be reading is The

0:39

Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnem. Story

0:42

is, in the 1920s, four

0:44

women unfulfilled with life take a

0:46

chance and abscond to a dreamy

0:48

medieval Italian castle. It's

0:50

a story dripping with wisteria, the

0:53

beauty of solitude, and an unlikely

0:55

pursuit of joy in Portofino, Italy.

0:58

I think that this is a perfect story for

1:00

the season, and you can hear it now. Find

1:02

The Daily Book Club on Spotify, Apple

1:05

Podcasts, and everywhere else. The

1:07

show has been a long time coming,

Wealth of the Marquis dell again

8:43

seem sufficient to justify Victor Marshawn

and believing that the young lady

8:47

would be richly down. But.

8:51

Good! He dared to believe that the daughter

Are under the control of the Marquis de

9:20

Again. A

9:24

reason Despres from Marcel ne made. It

9:26

seems probable that the English would soon

9:28

land to force upon the coast. And.

9:31

He mention the Marquis as the man who

9:33

was believed to be in communication with the

9:35

Cabinet of London. Doesn't.

9:39

Spite of the cordial welcome was that

9:41

Spaniard had given the vector marshawn and

9:43

as soldiers. The. Young officer held

9:45

himself perpetually on as good. As

9:50

a game from the ballroom to the terrorists. Intending

9:52

to cast as I up on the state

9:55

of the town and the outlying districts confided

9:57

to his care. He. Asked

9:59

himself how. To interpret the

10:01

goodwill was the marquees never failed.

10:05

And whether the fears of his general or

10:07

warranted by the apparent tranquility of the region.

10:11

But. No sooner had he reads the Terrorists than

10:13

these thoughts were driven from his mind by a

10:16

sense of prudence. And. Also, by

10:18

natural curiosity. He.

10:21

Saw in the town a great number of lights. Although

10:24

it was the feast of St. James,

10:27

He had that very morning order that

10:29

all light should be put out at

10:31

the our prescribed and the Army regulations.

10:34

Those are The Chateau alone accepted. He

10:39

saw it is true, the bayonets of

10:41

his soldiers gleaming here. and they're at

10:43

their appointed pass. But the

10:45

silence? A song. And nothing

10:47

indicated that the Spaniards were disregarding

10:50

his orders and the intoxication of.

10:54

Endeavoring. To explain to him so

10:57

the scalp bolland deliver and fraction of

10:59

rules on the part of the

11:01

inhabitants as.com as the more incomprehensible. Because.

11:04

He had left a number of officers in charge of

11:06

patrols who are to make the rounds during the night.

11:09

And force the regulations. Were.

11:12

The impetuosity of you. He.

11:14

Was about to spring through an opening in the

11:16

terrorists wall. And. The sand by the

11:18

rocks more rapidly than by the usual road to

11:21

a little outposts when she had placed at the

11:23

entrance to the town. On. The side

11:25

or the chateau. When. A slight

11:27

noise arrested. He.

11:31

Fancied, he heard the light step of a

11:33

woman on the gravel path behind him. He.

11:36

Turned his head and saw no one. But.

11:39

His eyes were caught by an extraordinary light

11:41

upon the ocean. Suddenly.

11:45

He be outside. So alarming that he

11:47

stood for a moment motionless with surprise.

11:49

Fancying. At his senses are mistaken.

11:53

The white raise of the moonlight enabled

11:55

him to distinguish styles at some distance.

11:59

He. Try to convince him though, but his

12:01

vision was an optical illusion cause by the

12:03

caprices of the waves and the moon. At

12:09

that moment, A hoarse voice uttered

12:11

his name. He looked

12:13

toward the opening in the wall. And saw

12:15

the head of the orderly who is a

12:17

company mountain the chateau, rising costs, etc. That

12:22

it you, commander. Yes,

12:25

What is a reply? The young man and

12:27

a low voice. Sort of

12:30

presented warning him to act mysteriously.

12:34

Those. Rascals or squirming like worms? Or

12:36

the man. And I have

12:38

come as you pleased to tell you my little

12:40

observations. Speaking.

12:46

I just followed from the shadow a man

12:48

with a lantern who is coming this way.

12:51

A lantern is mightily suspicious. I

12:54

don't believe that Christian has any call to go

12:56

and light the church Tabor's at this time of

12:58

night. They.

13:01

Want a murderer us said I to my

13:03

so. So. I followed his heels.

13:06

And I discover commander. Goes

13:08

13:10

great heap of sticks. His. After

13:12

lighting a beacon of some kind of here. I'll

13:15

be bound. A

13:20

terrible cry echoing suddenly do the

13:22

town. Stop the soldiers speech. A

13:25

brilliant light illuminated the young officer.

13:28

The. Poor orderly was shot in the her and

13:30

sell. The fire,

13:32

strong, dry wood blazed up like

13:35

a conflagration. Not aston from the

13:37

young commander. The.

13:40

Music and laughter ceased in the

13:42

ballroom. The. Silence of death.

13:45

Broken. Only by moans succeeded to

13:47

the joy sounds of the festival.

13:52

A single can and shot echoed along the plane

13:54

of the ocean. A

13:57

cold sweat rolls on the officers brow. It

14:00

Warner sore. He was

14:02

confident that the soldiers were murder. And.

14:04

At the English were about to disappear. He

14:09

saw himself dishonored as he learned. Some.

14:12

And before Council of War to explain

14:14

his want of vigilance. Then.

14:16

He measured with his i the depths of the descent.

14:18

And was springing towards a. When. Clara's

14:44

Pharma. Than

14:46

obeying the instinct of self preservation

14:49

but never abandoned any man. Even

14:51

the strongest. He sprang to the

14:54

park in the direction and. Running

14:56

among the rocks were the goats alone had

14:59

hitherto made their way. He.

15:03

Heard Clara calling to her brother's to

15:05

pursue him. Air the

15:08

steps as murderous. He. Had the

15:10

balls of several muskets whistling about his

15:12

ears. But. He

15:14

reached the valley. And the horse

15:16

mounted him. And disappeared with the

15:19

rapidity of an era. A

15:23

few hours later, The. Young officer

And overcome. He

15:41

sat down and related the horrible occurrence.

15:44

An awful silence followed his tail. I

15:48

think you are more on fortunate than criminal

15:50

replied to Terrible General when I last saw.

15:54

You. Are not responsible for the crime of

15:56

the Spaniards. And unless

15:58

the marshals a thing otherwise. I

16:01

Words gay, but a feeble consolation

Condition being agreed to. The.

18:18

18:56

up to the chateau and to. The.

19:01

Members of the Le Game family and their

19:03

servants were bound and kept under guard and

19:05

After sending in a decamp. To.

Marshal on. When. Having ordered

19:31

batteries to certain points along the shore,

19:33

the general and his staff turn their

19:36

attention to the prisoners. Two

19:40

hundred spaniard to deliver themselves up

19:42

were immediately. After

19:45

this military execution the general ordered as many

19:47

19:52

And. He some for the executioner the town.

Victor. Marshawn took advantage of the

he returned to the General. I.

20:07

Have gone he said in a full voice

20:09

a ceiling to ask for mercy. You.

20:13

said the General, and a tone of

20:15

bitter irony. The.

20:18

Last replied vector. That

is only a sad mercy. The

20:23

Marty who has seen those give it said i.

Provide the general. They.

20:38

Also, ask for religious assistance and to

20:40

be released from their bonds. They

20:43

promise and returned to make no attempt to escape.

20:48

I can sense that the general. But

20:50

I make you responsible for them. The

20:54

Marquis offers you his whole fortune of

20:56

your consent apart and one of his

20:58

sons. Really?

Done. A thought, but

21:15

Will surpass his wishes. I

21:17

comprehend the importance of his last request.

21:21

While he's or by the continuance of

21:23

his name and lineage. But.
