The Given Case is a novel written by the renowned American author, Henry James. The book tells the story of a young woman named Miriam Rooth who is accused of stealing a valuable necklace. Miriam is a governess who works for a wealthy family and is well-respected by her employers. However, when the necklace goes missing, suspicion falls on Miriam and she is arrested.The case against Miriam seems strong, but her lawyer, Julius Bernhart, believes in her innocence and takes on her case. As he investigates the crime, he uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal that goes far beyond the theft of a necklace. Bernhart must navigate a complex world of social hierarchies and hidden motives to uncover the truth and clear Miriam's name.The Given Case is a gripping tale of crime and intrigue, set in the upper-class society of 19th century Europe. James' masterful prose captures the nuances of human behavior and the complexity of relationships, making for a compelling and thought-provoking read. The novel is a testament to James' skill as a storyteller and his ability to delve into the darkest corners of the human psyche.You're already there -- I say, come! the young man had it on his tongue's end to reply. But he stopped himself in time, and felt extraordinarily delicate and discreet. I don't say it's the easiest one in the world; but here I stand, after all -- and I'm not supposed to be such an ass -- ready to give her every conceivable assistance. His friend, at this, replied nothing; but he presently spoke again. What has she invented, at Pickenham, to-day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
