Miss Brown V3 is a novel written by the British author Vernon Lee. It is the third book in the Miss Brown series, which follows the adventures of a young woman named Miss Brown who is a governess and a detective. In this book, Miss Brown is called upon to solve a mysterious case involving a missing diamond necklace. The necklace belongs to a wealthy family, and the stakes are high as they offer a substantial reward for its safe return. Miss Brown must navigate the social circles of the upper class and use her keen observational skills to uncover the truth. Along the way, she encounters a cast of intriguing characters, including a handsome young man who may or may not be involved in the theft. The novel is set in Victorian England, and Lee's vivid descriptions bring the era to life. Miss Brown V3 is a thrilling mystery that will keep readers guessing until the very end.The only person who seemed displeased was Hamlin; and the only person who seemed cold was Miss Brown. Hamlin always required to absorb the whole attention of any person to whom he took a liking; to see his cousin fenced round with idiots, as he described it, was almost a physical annoyance to him; he was cross, captious, bitter, and gruff; and the more he showed his temper the more pleasure Madame Elaguine took in provoking him. As usual, when out of sorts with the world, and especially when he felt himself neglected, Hamlin began once more to pay attentions to Miss Brown, to bemoan his own baseness and weakness, to throw himself on her compassion, to insinuate that in her lay his only hope.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
