Summary "The Lightning Conductor: The Strange Adventures of a Motor-Car" by C. N. Williamson et al. is a novel written in the early 20th century. This light-hearted yet adventurous narrative follows the spirited American woman Molly Randolph, who purchases a distinctive motor-car while traveling in England. Accompanied by her aunt Mary and a notably gloomy chauffeur named Rattray, Molly embarks on her exciting journey across Europe, signaling a departure from conventional travel and inviting various encounters along the way. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Molly Randolph, who shares her exhilarating experience of buying a motor-car. She details the exchanges with a charming gentleman, Mr. Reginald Cecil-Lanstown, who sells her the vehicle and offers a ride to cement the deal. As her travels begin, Molly’s enthusiasm is palpable, but challenges arise when Rattray, the chauffeur, proves to be less than competent. Throughout this opening portion, anecdotes of the car’s mechanics and charming observations about the English countryside fill Molly's letters to her father, setting the stage for her impending adventures and mishaps in a spirited exploration of independence and travel during a fascinating period of automotive history.
