At
this
moment
Sir
Francis
and
the
guide
seized
Phileas
Fogg
,
who
,
in
an
instant
of
mad
generosity
,
was
about
to
rush
upon
the
pyre
.
But
he
had
quickly
pushed
them
aside
,
when
the
whole
scene
suddenly
changed
.
A
cry
of
terror
arose
.
The
whole
multitude
prostrated
themselves
,
terror-stricken
,
on
the
ground
.
The
old
rajah
was
not
dead
,
then
,
since
he
rose
of
a
sudden
,
like
a
spectre
,
took
up
his
wife
in
his
arms
,
and
descended
from
the
pyre
in
the
midst
of
the
clouds
of
smoke
,
which
only
heightened
his
ghostly
appearance
.
Fakirs
and
soldiers
and
priests
,
seized
with
instant
terror
,
lay
there
,
with
their
faces
on
the
ground
,
not
daring
to
lift
their
eyes
and
behold
such
a
prodigy
.
The
inanimate
victim
was
borne
along
by
the
vigorous
arms
which
supported
her
,
and
which
she
did
not
seem
in
the
least
to
burden
.
Mr.
Fogg
and
Sir
Francis
stood
erect
,
the
Parsee
bowed
his
head
,
and
Passepartout
was
,
no
doubt
,
scarcely
less
stupefied
.
The
resuscitated
rajah
approached
Sir
Francis
and
Mr.
Fogg
,
and
,
in
an
abrupt
tone
,
said
,
"
Let
us
be
off
!
"
It
was
Passepartout
himself
,
who
had
slipped
upon
the
pyre
in
the
midst
of
the
smoke
and
,
profiting
by
the
still
overhanging
darkness
,
had
delivered
the
young
woman
from
death
!
It
was
Passepartout
who
,
playing
his
part
with
a
happy
audacity
,
had
passed
through
the
crowd
amid
the
general
terror
.
A
moment
after
all
four
of
the
party
had
disappeared
in
the
woods
,
and
the
elephant
was
bearing
them
away
at
a
rapid
pace
.
But
the
cries
and
noise
,
and
a
ball
which
whizzed
through
Phileas
Fogg
's
hat
,
apprised
them
that
the
trick
had
been
discovered
.
The
old
rajah
's
body
,
indeed
,
now
appeared
upon
the
burning
pyre
;
and
the
priests
,
recovered
from
their
terror
,
perceived
that
an
abduction
had
taken
place
.
They
hastened
into
the
forest
,
followed
by
the
soldiers
,
who
fired
a
volley
after
the
fugitives
;
but
the
latter
rapidly
increased
the
distance
between
them
,
and
ere
long
found
themselves
beyond
the
reach
of
the
bullets
and
arrows
.
The
rash
exploit
had
been
accomplished
;
and
for
an
hour
Passepartout
laughed
gaily
at
his
success
.
Sir
Francis
pressed
the
worthy
fellow
's
hand
,
and
his
master
said
,
"
Well
done
!
"
which
,
from
him
,
was
high
commendation
;
to
which
Passepartout
replied
that
all
the
credit
of
the
affair
belonged
to
Mr.
Fogg
.
As
for
him
,
he
had
only
been
struck
with
a
"
queer
"
idea
;
and
he
laughed
to
think
that
for
a
few
moments
he
,
Passepartout
,
the
ex-gymnast
,
ex-sergeant
fireman
,
had
been
the
spouse
of
a
charming
woman
,
a
venerable
,
embalmed
rajah
!
As
for
the
young
Indian
woman
,
she
had
been
unconscious
throughout
of
what
was
passing
,
and
now
,
wrapped
up
in
a
travelling-blanket
,
was
reposing
in
one
of
the
howdahs
.
The
elephant
,
thanks
to
the
skilful
guidance
of
the
Parsee
,
was
advancing
rapidly
through
the
still
darksome
forest
,
and
,
an
hour
after
leaving
the
pagoda
,
had
crossed
a
vast
plain
.
They
made
a
halt
at
seven
o'clock
,
the
young
woman
being
still
in
a
state
of
complete
prostration
.
The
guide
made
her
drink
a
little
brandy
and
water
,
but
the
drowsiness
which
stupefied
her
could
not
yet
be
shaken
off
.
Sir
Francis
,
who
was
familiar
with
the
effects
of
the
intoxication
produced
by
the
fumes
of
hemp
,
reassured
his
companions
on
her
account
.
But
he
was
more
disturbed
at
the
prospect
of
her
future
fate
.
He
told
Phileas
Fogg
that
,
should
Aouda
remain
in
India
,
she
would
inevitably
fall
again
into
the
hands
of
her
executioners
.
These
fanatics
were
scattered
throughout
the
county
,
and
would
,
despite
the
English
police
,
recover
their
victim
at
Madras
,
Bombay
,
or
Calcutta
.
She
would
only
be
safe
by
quitting
India
for
ever
.
