What amazes me is that Field wrote that Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge won a "box" of the emeralds at a charity bazaar. What a bazaar!!!! What a treasure to give away as a prize! It boggles my mind. The donations to the bazaar must have been far beyond what the average person at the time could donate, even for a worthy cause. So much for Mary's relative impoverished state!
