 Context examples 

Hannah had 'dished up' an astonishing breakfast for the traveler, finding it impossible to vent her excitement in any other way, and Meg and Jo fed their mother like dutiful young storks, while they listened to her whispered account of Father's state, Mr. Brooke's promise to stay and nurse him, the delays which the storm occasioned on the homeward journey, and the unspeakable comfort Laurie's hopeful face had given her when she arrived, worn out with fatigue, anxiety, and cold.

(Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott)

I would advise her blackaviced suitor to look out: if another comes, with a longer or clearer rent-roll,—he's dished—But, mother, I did not come to hear Mr. Rochester's fortune: I came to hear my own; and you have told me nothing of it.

(Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë)
