Cynthia's Chauffeur
Cynthia's Chauffeur, published in 1910, begins on Derby Day, when young Lord Medenham, bored and rich, lends his car and himself to help a stranded American girl, Cynthia Vanrenen, and her chaperone complete a tour of England. He lets them believe he is a hired driver. The route runs from London to Bristol, the Mendips, Wells, the Wye valley and the Welsh border, and the comedy comes from a peer carrying luggage and taking orders while a genuine rival for Cynthia's hand pursues them. Louis Tracy was one of the most prolific Edwardian popular novelists, and this is one of his lightest books, a motoring romance in which the landscape and the car get almost as much attention as the lovers.
