The Given Case is a novel written by the renowned American author, Henry James. The story revolves around a young lawyer, George Dane, who is assigned to investigate a mysterious case involving the death of a wealthy businessman, Miles Furley. As Dane delves deeper into the case, he finds himself drawn into a web of deceit and intrigue, where nothing is as it seems.The novel is set in London in the late 19th century, and James masterfully captures the atmosphere of the city during that time period. The characters are well-developed and complex, with their own motivations and secrets. Dane, in particular, is a fascinating character, as he struggles to balance his duty as a lawyer with his own moral compass.As the investigation progresses, Dane uncovers a number of shocking revelations about Furley's past, including his involvement in a scandalous love affair. The plot twists and turns, keeping the reader guessing until the very end.Overall, The Given Case is a gripping and thought-provoking novel, exploring themes of justice, morality, and the complexities of human nature. James' writing is elegant and precise, and the novel is a testament to his skill as a storyteller.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.
