Somebody's Luggage

When I began to settle down in this right-principled and well-conducted House, I noticed, under the bed in No. 24 B (which is up an angle off the staircase, and usually put off upon the lowly-minded), a heap of things in a corner. When a waiter in a hotel stumbles upon some luggage that has been left behind, he searches through it to identify its owner only to find a handful of stories instead. The writing is so good that he gets the stories published. One day, a visitor comes calling. Somebody's Luggage is a thoroughly entertaining and cleverly written mystery, and as always with Dickens' work, the characters and places come alive on the page.
