At
five
minutes
before
eight
,
Passepartout
,
hatless
,
shoeless
,
and
having
in
the
squabble
lost
his
package
of
shirts
and
shoes
,
rushed
breathlessly
into
the
station
.
Fix
,
who
had
followed
Mr.
Fogg
to
the
station
,
and
saw
that
he
was
really
going
to
leave
Bombay
,
was
there
,
upon
the
platform
.
He
had
resolved
to
follow
the
supposed
robber
to
Calcutta
,
and
farther
,
if
necessary
.
Passepartout
did
not
observe
the
detective
,
who
stood
in
an
obscure
corner
;
but
Fix
heard
him
relate
his
adventures
in
a
few
words
to
Mr.
Fogg
.
"
I
hope
that
this
will
not
happen
again
,
"
said
Phileas
Fogg
coldly
,
as
he
got
into
the
train
.
Poor
Passepartout
,
quite
crestfallen
,
followed
his
master
without
a
word
.
Fix
was
on
the
point
of
entering
another
carriage
,
when
an
idea
struck
him
which
induced
him
to
alter
his
plan
.
"
No
,
I
'll
stay
,
"
muttered
he
.
"
An
offence
has
been
committed
on
Indian
soil
.
I
've
got
my
man
.
"
Just
then
the
locomotive
gave
a
sharp
screech
,
and
the
train
passed
out
into
the
darkness
of
the
night
.
The
train
had
started
punctually
.
Among
the
passengers
were
a
number
of
officers
,
Government
officials
,
and
opium
and
indigo
merchants
,
whose
business
called
them
to
the
eastern
coast
.
Passepartout
rode
in
the
same
carriage
with
his
master
,
and
a
third
passenger
occupied
a
seat
opposite
to
them
.
This
was
Sir
Francis
Cromarty
,
one
of
Mr.
Fogg
's
whist
partners
on
the
Mongolia
,
now
on
his
way
to
join
his
corps
at
Benares
.
Sir
Francis
was
a
tall
,
fair
man
of
fifty
,
who
had
greatly
distinguished
himself
in
the
last
Sepoy
revolt
.
He
made
India
his
home
,
only
paying
brief
visits
to
England
at
rare
intervals
;
and
was
almost
as
familiar
as
a
native
with
the
customs
,
history
,
and
character
of
India
and
its
people
.
But
Phileas
Fogg
,
who
was
not
travelling
,
but
only
describing
a
circumference
,
took
no
pains
to
inquire
into
these
subjects
;
he
was
a
solid
body
,
traversing
an
orbit
around
the
terrestrial
globe
,
according
to
the
laws
of
rational
mechanics
.
He
was
at
this
moment
calculating
in
his
mind
the
number
of
hours
spent
since
his
departure
from
London
,
and
,
had
it
been
in
his
nature
to
make
a
useless
demonstration
,
would
have
rubbed
his
hands
for
satisfaction
.
Sir
Francis
Cromarty
had
observed
the
oddity
of
his
travelling
companion
--
although
the
only
opportunity
he
had
for
studying
him
had
been
while
he
was
dealing
the
cards
,
and
between
two
rubbers
--
and
questioned
himself
whether
a
human
heart
really
beat
beneath
this
cold
exterior
,
and
whether
Phileas
Fogg
had
any
sense
of
the
beauties
of
nature
.
The
brigadier-general
was
free
to
mentally
confess
that
,
of
all
the
eccentric
persons
he
had
ever
met
,
none
was
comparable
to
this
product
of
the
exact
sciences
.
Phileas
Fogg
had
not
concealed
from
Sir
Francis
his
design
of
going
round
the
world
,
nor
the
circumstances
under
which
he
set
out
;
and
the
general
only
saw
in
the
wager
a
useless
eccentricity
and
a
lack
of
sound
common
sense
.
In
the
way
this
strange
gentleman
was
going
on
,
he
would
leave
the
world
without
having
done
any
good
to
himself
or
anybody
else
.
An
hour
after
leaving
Bombay
the
train
had
passed
the
viaducts
and
the
Island
of
Salcette
,
and
had
got
into
the
open
country
.
At
Callyan
they
reached
the
junction
of
the
branch
line
which
descends
towards
south-eastern
India
by
Kandallah
and
Pounah
;
and
,
passing
Pauwell
,
they
entered
the
defiles
of
the
mountains
,
with
their
basalt
bases
,
and
their
summits
crowned
with
thick
and
verdant
forests
.
Phileas
Fogg
and
Sir
Francis
Cromarty
exchanged
a
few
words
from
time
to
time
,
and
now
Sir
Francis
,
reviving
the
conversation
,
observed
,
"
Some
years
ago
,
Mr.
Fogg
,
you
would
have
met
with
a
delay
at
this
point
which
would
probably
have
lost
you
your
wager
.
"
"
How
so
,
Sir
Francis
?
"
"
Because
the
railway
stopped
at
the
base
of
these
mountains
,
which
the
passengers
were
obliged
to
cross
in
palanquins
or
on
ponies
to
Kandallah
,
on
the
other
side
.
"
