Williamson, A. M. and C.N: The Motor Maid. V1. 17 Sep 2009
Alice Muriel Williamson (1869 - September 24, 1933) was a British novelist.
Born Alice Muriel Livingston, she married Charles Norris Williamson (1859-1920) in 1894 and many of her books were jointly written with her husband. After her marriage she introduced herself as Mrs. C.N.Williamson. A number of their novels cover the early days of motoring and can also be read as travelogues. Excerpt One hears of people whose hair turned white in a single night. Last night I thought mine was turning. I had a creepy feeling in the roots, which seemed to crawl all the way down inside each separate hair, wriggling as it went. I suppose you couldn’t have nervous prostration of the hair? I worried dreadfully, it kept on so long; and my hair is so fair it would be almost a temptation for it, in an emergency, to take the one short step from gold to silver. I didn’t dare switch on the light in the wagon-lit and peep at my pocket-book mirror (which reflects one’s features in sections of a square inch, giving the survey of one’s whole face quite a panorama effect) for fear I might wake up the Bull Dog.
