If
to
live
in
this
style
is
to
be
eccentric
,
it
must
be
confessed
that
there
is
something
good
in
eccentricity
.
The
mansion
in
Saville
Row
,
though
not
sumptuous
,
was
exceedingly
comfortable
.
The
habits
of
its
occupant
were
such
as
to
demand
but
little
from
the
sole
domestic
,
but
Phileas
Fogg
required
him
to
be
almost
superhumanly
prompt
and
regular
.
On
this
very
2nd
of
October
he
had
dismissed
James
Forster
,
because
that
luckless
youth
had
brought
him
shaving-water
at
eighty-four
degrees
Fahrenheit
instead
of
eighty-six
;
and
he
was
awaiting
his
successor
,
who
was
due
at
the
house
between
eleven
and
half-past
.
Phileas
Fogg
was
seated
squarely
in
his
armchair
,
his
feet
close
together
like
those
of
a
grenadier
on
parade
,
his
hands
resting
on
his
knees
,
his
body
straight
,
his
head
erect
;
he
was
steadily
watching
a
complicated
clock
which
indicated
the
hours
,
the
minutes
,
the
seconds
,
the
days
,
the
months
,
and
the
years
.
At
exactly
half-past
eleven
Mr.
Fogg
would
,
according
to
his
daily
habit
,
quit
Saville
Row
,
and
repair
to
the
Reform
.
A
rap
at
this
moment
sounded
on
the
door
of
the
cosy
apartment
where
Phileas
Fogg
was
seated
,
and
James
Forster
,
the
dismissed
servant
,
appeared
.
"
The
new
servant
,
"
said
he
.
A
young
man
of
thirty
advanced
and
bowed
.
"
You
are
a
Frenchman
,
I
believe
,
"
asked
Phileas
Fogg
,
"
and
your
name
is
John
?
"
"
Jean
,
if
monsieur
pleases
,
"
replied
the
newcomer
,
"
Jean
Passepartout
,
a
surname
which
has
clung
to
me
because
I
have
a
natural
aptness
for
going
out
of
one
business
into
another
.
I
believe
I
'm
honest
,
monsieur
,
but
,
to
be
outspoken
,
I
've
had
several
trades
.
I
've
been
an
itinerant
singer
,
a
circus-rider
,
when
I
used
to
vault
like
Leotard
,
and
dance
on
a
rope
like
Blondin
.
Then
I
got
to
be
a
professor
of
gymnastics
,
so
as
to
make
better
use
of
my
talents
;
and
then
I
was
a
sergeant
fireman
at
Paris
,
and
assisted
at
many
a
big
fire
.
But
I
quitted
France
five
years
ago
,
and
,
wishing
to
taste
the
sweets
of
domestic
life
,
took
service
as
a
valet
here
in
England
.
Finding
myself
out
of
place
,
and
hearing
that
Monsieur
Phileas
Fogg
was
the
most
exact
and
settled
gentleman
in
the
United
Kingdom
,
I
have
come
to
monsieur
in
the
hope
of
living
with
him
a
tranquil
life
,
and
forgetting
even
the
name
of
Passepartout
.
"
"
Passepartout
suits
me
,
"
responded
Mr.
Fogg
.
"
You
are
well
recommended
to
me
;
I
hear
a
good
report
of
you
.
You
know
my
conditions
?
"
"
Yes
,
monsieur
.
"
