18 September.—I drove at once to Hillingham and arrived early. Keeping my cab at the gate, I went up the avenue alone. I knocked gently and rang as quietly as possible, for I feared to disturb Lucy or her mother. After a while, finding no response, I knocked and rang again; still no answer.
Thirty minutes of every book, every week, free.
Not thirty minutes total: thirty minutes of each book, so you can sample as many as you like until you find the one you want to finish. When a book’s minutes run out it stays open to read, and they come back on Monday. Unlimited listening is $4.99 a month, cancel any time.
If it isn’t narrated yet, ask.
Search covers every classic we could narrate, not only the ones ready today. Request one and we record it, then tell you when it’s done. Until then, the full text is there to read.
