Very
well
,
young
man
,
"
returned
Mr.
Fogg
,
coolly
;
"
it
will
burn
--
at
your
expense
.
"
Phileas
Fogg
rightly
suspected
that
his
departure
from
London
would
create
a
lively
sensation
at
the
West
End
.
The
news
of
the
bet
spread
through
the
Reform
Club
,
and
afforded
an
exciting
topic
of
conversation
to
its
members
.
From
the
club
it
soon
got
into
the
papers
throughout
England
.
The
boasted
"
tour
of
the
world
"
was
talked
about
,
disputed
,
argued
with
as
much
warmth
as
if
the
subject
were
another
Alabama
claim
.
Some
took
sides
with
Phileas
Fogg
,
but
the
large
majority
shook
their
heads
and
declared
against
him
;
it
was
absurd
,
impossible
,
they
declared
,
that
the
tour
of
the
world
could
be
made
,
except
theoretically
and
on
paper
,
in
this
minimum
of
time
,
and
with
the
existing
means
of
travelling
.
The
Times
,
Standard
,
Morning
Post
,
and
Daily
News
,
and
twenty
other
highly
respectable
newspapers
scouted
Mr.
Fogg
's
project
as
madness
;
the
Daily
Telegraph
alone
hesitatingly
supported
him
.
People
in
general
thought
him
a
lunatic
,
and
blamed
his
Reform
Club
friends
for
having
accepted
a
wager
which
betrayed
the
mental
aberration
of
its
proposer
.
Articles
no
less
passionate
than
logical
appeared
on
the
question
,
for
geography
is
one
of
the
pet
subjects
of
the
English
;
and
the
columns
devoted
to
Phileas
Fogg
's
venture
were
eagerly
devoured
by
all
classes
of
readers
.
At
first
some
rash
individuals
,
principally
of
the
gentler
sex
,
espoused
his
cause
,
which
became
still
more
popular
when
the
Illustrated
London
News
came
out
with
his
portrait
,
copied
from
a
photograph
in
the
Reform
Club
.
A
few
readers
of
the
Daily
Telegraph
even
dared
to
say
,
"
Why
not
,
after
all
?
Stranger
things
have
come
to
pass
.
"
At
last
a
long
article
appeared
,
on
the
7th
of
October
,
in
the
bulletin
of
the
Royal
Geographical
Society
,
which
treated
the
question
from
every
point
of
view
,
and
demonstrated
the
utter
folly
of
the
enterprise
.
Everything
,
it
said
,
was
against
the
travellers
,
every
obstacle
imposed
alike
by
man
and
by
nature
.
A
miraculous
agreement
of
the
times
of
departure
and
arrival
,
which
was
impossible
,
was
absolutely
necessary
to
his
success
.
He
might
,
perhaps
,
reckon
on
the
arrival
of
trains
at
the
designated
hours
,
in
Europe
,
where
the
distances
were
relatively
moderate
;
but
when
he
calculated
upon
crossing
India
in
three
days
,
and
the
United
States
in
seven
,
could
he
rely
beyond
misgiving
upon
accomplishing
his
task
?
There
were
accidents
to
machinery
,
the
liability
of
trains
to
run
off
the
line
,
collisions
,
bad
weather
,
the
blocking
up
by
snow
--
were
not
all
these
against
Phileas
Fogg
?
Would
he
not
find
himself
,
when
travelling
by
steamer
in
winter
,
at
the
mercy
of
the
winds
and
fogs
?
Is
it
uncommon
for
the
best
ocean
steamers
to
be
two
or
three
days
behind
time
?
But
a
single
delay
would
suffice
to
fatally
break
the
chain
of
communication
;
should
Phileas
Fogg
once
miss
,
even
by
an
hour
;
a
steamer
,
he
would
have
to
wait
for
the
next
,
and
that
would
irrevocably
render
his
attempt
vain
.
This
article
made
a
great
deal
of
noise
,
and
,
being
copied
into
all
the
papers
,
seriously
depressed
the
advocates
of
the
rash
tourist
.
Everybody
knows
that
England
is
the
world
of
betting
men
,
who
are
of
a
higher
class
than
mere
gamblers
;
to
bet
is
in
the
English
temperament
.
Not
only
the
members
of
the
Reform
,
but
the
general
public
,
made
heavy
wagers
for
or
against
Phileas
Fogg
,
who
was
set
down
in
the
betting
books
as
if
he
were
a
race-horse
.
Bonds
were
issued
,
and
made
their
appearance
on
'
Change
;
"
Phileas
Fogg
bonds
"
were
offered
at
par
or
at
a
premium
,
and
a
great
business
was
done
in
them
.
But
five
days
after
the
article
in
the
bulletin
of
the
Geographical
Society
appeared
,
the
demand
began
to
subside
:
"
Phileas
Fogg
"
declined
.
They
were
offered
by
packages
,
at
first
of
five
,
then
of
ten
,
until
at
last
nobody
would
take
less
than
twenty
,
fifty
,
a
hundred
!
Lord
Albemarle
,
an
elderly
paralytic
gentleman
,
was
now
the
only
advocate
of
Phileas
Fogg
left
.
This
noble
lord
,
who
was
fastened
to
his
chair
,
would
have
given
his
fortune
to
be
able
to
make
the
tour
of
the
world
,
if
it
took
ten
years
;
and
he
bet
five
thousand
pounds
on
Phileas
Fogg
.
When
the
folly
as
well
as
the
uselessness
of
the
adventure
was
pointed
out
to
him
,
he
contented
himself
with
replying
,
"
If
the
thing
is
feasible
,
the
first
to
do
it
ought
to
be
an
Englishman
.
"
The
Fogg
party
dwindled
more
and
more
,
everybody
was
going
against
him
,
and
the
bets
stood
a
hundred
and
fifty
and
two
hundred
to
one
;
and
a
week
after
his
departure
an
incident
occurred
which
deprived
him
of
backers
at
any
price
.
The
commissioner
of
police
was
sitting
in
his
office
at
nine
o'clock
one
evening
,
when
the
following
telegraphic
dispatch
was
put
into
his
hands
:
