Excerpt from The Christian, Vol. 2 of 2: A Story Behind Buckingham Palace there is a little square of modest houses, standing back from the tide of traffic, and nearly always as quiet as a cloister. At one angle of the square is a house somewhat larger than the rest, but just as simple and unassuming. In the dining-room of this house an elderly lady was sitting down to lunch alone, with the covers laid for another at the opposite end of the table. "Hae ye the spare room ready, Emma?" "Yes, ma'am, " said the maid. "And the sheets done airing? And baith the pillows? And the pillow-slips - and everything finished?" The maid was answering "Yes" to each of these questions when a hansom-cab came rattling up to the front of the house, and the old lady leapt out of her seat. "It's himsel', " she cried, and she ran like a girl to the hall. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
