The Motor Maid E-text prepared by David Cortesi, Suzanne Shell, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net/) "The Motor Maid" by C. N. Williamson and A. M. Williamson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the journey of Lys d'Angely, a young girl of mixed French and American descent, who is escaping from unwanted marital prospects and becomes involved in the whims of the wealthy as she takes up a position as a lady's maid. Through her encounters with characters such as the eccentric Lady Turnour and her chauffeur, the narrative hints at themes of class struggle and personal agency against a backdrop of adventure and humor. The opening of the novel introduces Lys as she embarks on a train journey, nervously contemplating her new life. She is caught in a comedic situation involving an older, self-absorbed traveler and her equally boisterous bulldog. After a series of humorous interactions with the eccentric Miss Paget, a fellow traveler, Lys's journey continues to Cannes, where she faces unexpected challenges upon discovering that her intended employer, Princess Boriskoff, has died. Left alone and without resources, Lys displays resilience and adaptability as she navigates the complexities of her new life, hinting at the broader themes of transformation and independence that will unfold throughout the story.
