As soon as he finished reading the documents, Fenton, who was stationed in Khartum, enthusiastically telegraphed the author. When the business in Cairo was over, Fenton was to leisurely up the Nile while dressed like a local to ascertain the veracity of some rumors. There had been "incidents," tiny but unpleasant, at Denderah, Luxor, and other locations. It was heavenly to arrive in a tiny oasis and see the luncheon tent's open front and awning mirrored in the beautiful lagoon with its green palm tree backdrop. Monny and the other members of her party were escorted by the eunuch into a sizable, gloomy chamber that they could only see via a screen wall, but from which they could also view a tiny, grassy court that acted as a garden.
Biddy followed me as she gazed intently at the antique home, her eyes wide with interest. She was impressed by the enormous hall, whose arches led to gloomy, perfumed gardens. She was mesmerized by the Sudanese band, which consisted of ink-black giants wearing white uniforms and singing wild traditional music under the full moon. They were sandal tread patterns, and they led across the floor to something glittering in the center of the room. It had a hazy shape resembling a covered coffin with a high, pointed object on top.
C. N. Williamson
The Black & White magazine was started by British author and motorsport journalist Charles Norris Williamson (1859–1920). He is most well-known for his work on several books and travelogs alongside his wife, Alice Muriel Williamson. Williamson, who was raised at University College, London, and was born in Exeter, studied engineering there. Before becoming the founding editor of the Black and White in 1891, he worked as a writer for the Graphic for eight years. In 1881, he released a Life of Carlyle. Several of the Williamsons' novels and short tales went on to become movies.
A.M. Williamson
American-English novelist Alice Muriel Williamson (8 October 1858 – 24 September 1933), also known as the "C. N. and A. M. Williamson" and "Mrs. C. N. Williamson," wrote mostly under these aliases. Her father co-founded the Ohio State and Union Law Colleges, and she was born there in 1858. She took her maternal great grandfather's last name, "Livingston," as her own in 1890. Forget-Me-Not published her debut serial, "Confessions of a Stage-Struck Girl." Her sense of humor would eventually emerge as one of her most distinctive writing traits.
