Treasure Island, The Black Spot
A blind man's tapping stick on a frozen road, a round of black paper, and a sea-chest opened at midnight.
Retold for sleep from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1883 and long out of copyright. The story is Stevenson's; every sentence here is our own.

Soft, slow, hushed
Soft-spoken and slow, a bedtime-story hush, plain, warm, and easy to come back to.
