References in classic literature Steerforth dusted me under a lamp-post, and put my hat into shape, which somebody produced from somewhere in a most extraordinary manner, for I hadn't had it on before. A man, sitting in a pigeon-hole-place, looked out of the fog, and took money from somebody, inquiring if I was one of the gentlemen paid for, and appearing rather doubtful (as I remember in the glimpse I had of him) whether to take the money for me or not. On somebody's motion, we resolved to go downstairs to the dress-boxes, where the ladies were. How somebody, lying in my bed, lay saying and doing all this over again, at cross purposes, in a feverish dream all night - the bed a rocking sea that was never still! David Copperfield 'I thought it was somebody else,' said Quilp, rubbing his shoulders, 'why didn't you say who you were?' And you, sir--don't you know there has been somebody ill here, that you knock as if you'd beat the door down?' The Old Curiosity Shop Somebody was so good as to step in and pay the money--something and fourpence was the amount; I forget the pounds and shillings, but I know it ended with fourpence, because it struck me at the time as being so odd that I could owe anybody fourpence--and after that I brought them together. Bleak House She sent me the pages in question before she died." They were all listening now, and of course there was somebody to be arch, or at any rate to draw the inference.

'Here's somebody comin' at last, ma'am,' said the short chairman. 'Here's somebody coming out of another house; put me into the chair. The Posthumous Papers Of The Pickwick Club 'A pickpocket' too, for somebody, she said, had tried to pull her watch away. When I touched her watch I was close to her, but when I cried out I stopped as it were short, and the crowd bearing her forward a little, she made a noise too, but it was at some distance from me, so that she did not in the least suspect me; but when she cried out 'A pickpocket,' somebody cried, 'Ay, and here has been another! Nor did the people concern themselves much to deliver me from it, or to recover me at all; but I lay like one dead and neglected a good while, till somebody going to remove the bed out of the way, helped me up.
