The collection consists of three short stories or sketches, each with its own distinct narrative:"His Leaving It Till Called For": This story revolves around a man who has left his luggage at an inn but refuses to claim it until it is specifically requested, leading to a comical series of events."Mrs. Lirriper's Lodgings": The titular character, Mrs. Lirriper, is a landlady who takes in lodgers. The story explores the lives and experiences of her various lodgers, providing a glimpse into the diverse personalities and backgrounds of her tenants."Mrs. Lirriper's Legacy": This sequel to "Mrs. Lirriper's Lodgings" continues the story of Mrs. Lirriper and her lodgers. It also introduces a new character, Jemmy, who becomes a central figure in the narrative.These stories are characterized by Dickens's keen observation of human nature, his humor, and his skill in portraying memorable characters from various walks of life. While "Somebody's Luggage" may not be as well-known as some of Dickens's longer novels, it remains a delightful collection that showcases his storytelling talent and his ability to capture the nuances of human behavior and relationships.
