Intrigued by David Vineyard's review on Mysteryfile, I went ahead and read Sapper’s Jim Maitland, which collects stories that had previously appeared in Pearson's, McClure's and the Strand. It was considerably easier to find than the Adrian collection. Jim Maitland is a monocle wearing pukka sahib. Possessing private means, he chooses to roam the world in search of adventure. Fair enough, I might choose to do the same if I had the private means. At least the roaming the world part.
