: In the book, he was based in England as were most of the other characters. His fair maiden (I can't recall her name) was the daughter of a nobleman. Her father didn't approve of their relationship and she was looking to marry someone of adventure and fame. Hence the motivation for young-fella-me-lad to go on the safari.Her name was Gladys (as in Lake Gladys, the Lost World body of water he named for her, and later renamed Central Lake, hee hee). I recall no mention of her father being a nobleman. And she married some weasly little accountant or something while he was gone, because he'd left her seeking adventure, which she'd goaded him into doing in the first place. Sigh.
