In the sequel to Christie's Old Organ, we find Christie pastoring a small parish, where a forgotten acquaintance steps back into his life. You will find delicate love, unusual hospitality, and unforgettable loss in the pages of this book. “Thousands who remember "Christie's Old Organ" will give the heartiest possible welcome to its sequel, "Christie, the King's Servant," by the same author, Mrs. Walton. It will first attract attention because of its predecessor, but it will retain the reader's affection for its own sake.” -The Sword and Trowel (1905) “The volume is full of incident, and it will engage the attention of all into whose hands it falls.” -The Irish Times (1905) “Everybody will want to read this, as it is a sequel to "Christie's Old Organ," told in the charming authoress's best manner.” -The Churchman (1905).

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A Peep Behind the ScenesYet, in spite of this, and in Spite of the rain, a crowd Of Sunday idlers lingered about the fair, looking with great interest at the half-covered whirligigs and bicycles, peeping curiously into the deserted shows, and making many schemes for further enjoyment on the morrow, when the fair was once more to be in its glory.Inside the caravans the Show-people were crouching over their fires and grumbling at the weather, murmur ing at having to pay so much for the ground on which their shows were erected, at a time when they would be likely to make SO little profit.A little Old man, with a rosy, good-tempered face, was making his way across the sea of mud which divided the Shows from each other. He was evidently no idler in the fair; he had come into it that Sunday afternoon for a definite purpose, and he did not intend to leave it until it was accomplished. After crossing an almost impassable place, he climbed the steps leading to one of the caravans and knocked at the door.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
