Rajah of Maraputna

In the short story The Rajah's Emerald, the Rajah of Maraputna is a friend of Lord Edward Campion. At the time of the events in the story he was staying with Lord Edward in his house at the seaside resort of Kimpton-on-Sea. The Rajah was reputed to be fabulously rich. He had many palaces and a wonderful collection of jewels including a famous emerald the size of a pigeon's egg. It was just one such emerald which James Bond found after putting on the wrong pair of trousers inside a bathing hut at the beach.

What happened next forms the main plot of the story.
