...first Raja was succeeded by his nephew, Sir Charles Johnson Brooke, a lusting, jungle-loving buck. Sir Charles used to think dinner an unnecessary and expensive meal, but he relented on his wedding night and bought his bride bread, butter and tea. Sir Charles in due course died (although his ghost still haunts the palace, says his daughter-in-law), to be succeeded by his son, the present Raja...
