The noun dickens (lower case d) has no possessive form, it is a word used for emphasizing a question to express surprise or anger (Who the dickens was that?). To some, using the noun dickens is a euphemism for invoking the devil.


The possessive form for the proper noun Dickens is Dickens's. The possessive of all English singular nouns is formed by adding -'s. Singular nouns already ending in -s acquire a new syllable, along with the -'s of the possessive.
