An Old Etonian chum begs Blotto to join him on a cricket tour of India. But they still need a twelfth man - a vacancy which his ridiculously capable sister Twinks will have no problem in filling. The Dowager Duchess assents readily: Blotto is more tolerable when situated on the other side of the world and marrying Twinks off to a rich Maharajah would solve the issue of Tawcester Towers' perpetually cash-draining plumbing. So the two set off on a ship full of the Fishing Fleet: young woman desperate to marry well in India (only once having encountered the dashing Blotto a lot of them fancy the idea of getting married within hours of having left Southampton). But the voyage is disrupted by the disappearance of a Maharajah's fantastic diamond the Star of Koorbleimee - a theft to which Blotto confesses. . .
