Fiction · 1909
Set in Silver
C. N. Williamson, A. M. Williamson
Audrie Brendon, a singing teacher, agrees to pose as her wealthy schoolfriend Ellaline Lethbridge on a motor tour of England, so that Ellaline can slip away to marry her French fiancé in secret. Traveling under the eye of Ellaline's guardian, Sir Lionel Pendragon, Audrie finds him far more honorable than she'd been led to expect, and the deception harder to keep up than she planned.
C. N. and A. M. Williamson published the novel through Doubleday, Page and Company in 1909.

About the authors
1859–1920 · Victorian
Charles Norris Williamson (1859–1920) was born in Exeter and trained as an engineer at University College, London, before turning to journalism; he spent eight years at The Graphic and founded the magazine Black and White in 1891. After marrying the American novelist Alice Muriel Williamson in 1894, he collaborated with her on a long series of popular travel-romance novels — Set in Silver among them — many built around the still-new experience of motoring through Europe. He died in 1920.
