Welcome to Drift Off Bedtime Stories. I'm your host Joanne, and I'm so glad you've joined me.

Tonight, we begin a new journey together as we dive into the timeless classic Anne of Green Gables

by Lucy Maude Montgomery. Each Sunday, I'll be narrating a few chapters, offering a gentle escape

into the charming world of Anne Shirley

and the beautiful landscapes of Prince Edward Island.

Your contributions help me continue bringing these stories to you week after week.

Now, before we begin, let's take a moment to relax and settle in. Find a comfortable

position. Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in and slowly exhale feel your body beginning to

unwind as you let go of any tension imagine yourself in a peaceful, cozy space, ready to drift off into a world of imagination

and rest.

And so, my friend, let's step into the enchanting world now of Anne of Wingamels. Chapter 7. Anne says her prayers.

When Marilla took Anne up to bed that night, she said stiffly.

Now, Anne, I noticed last night that you threw your clothes all over the floor when you took them off.

That is a very untidy habit, and I can't allow it at all.

As soon as you take off any article of clothing, fold it neatly and place it on the chair.

I have no use for little girls who aren't neat.

I was so upset last night that I didn't think about my clothes at all, said Anne.

I'll fold them nicely tonight.

They always made us do that at the asylum.

Half the time, though, I'd forget, because I'd be in such a hurry to get into bed and imagine things.
