Adventure is a recurring idea. The reader can decide whether Gertrude crafts a life of adventure because she has a penchant for it or whether her prescribed life is so boring that she determines to change her circumstances. Perhaps there is a little of both elements in Gertrude's plan. She seems to have no fear of unknown places and even relishes solitary treks across the Arabian Desert, a journey that would make the most seasoned traveler think twice. Gertrude demands that life meet her head on and she does the same, whether it is hanging from a mountain peak in Switzerland or riding with a troop of Bedouin soldiers in the desert.
