Around The World In 80 Days by Jules Gabriel Verne词汇提示1.poverty 贫穷原文Chapter 9: When it is better to travel east20 DecemberPhileas Fogg was free and he knew exactly what to do.He looked at Inspector Fix and then he hit him: first with one hand, then with the other.Fix fell to the floor.Passepartout was very happy.'Good!'he told his master.Then he turned to Inspector Fix.'That's what happens to people who behave like you,' he shouted at the confused detective.They left the police station and went towards the railway station immediately.They were in time for the train, but the train was late and when they arrived in London they looked up at the clock in Euston Station to see that it was ten to nine.Phileas Fogg lost his bet - by five minutes!Phileas Fogg accepted this in his usual way, without showing any particular emotion.Mrs. Aouda, on the other hand, was very emotional.She continued to cry. She did not know what to do.Passepartout was also worried for his master, and his job.It was his master's choice to spend all his money on the bet, but he was such a good, honest person.It was not good to see him like this.He still could not stop thinking that it was his fault.The next day, Passepartout followed the same routine, except for one thing.When they heard the sound of Big Ben at half past eleven the next day, Phileas Fogg did not go to the Reform Club.The house felt strange. It was like no one lived there.At about half past seven that evening, Phileas Fogg asked Mrs. Aouda if he could come to her room to speak to her.'Madam', he began sadly. 'I wanted to take you back to England with me because I thought I could offer you a good life here. Now I am a poor man... and I have nothing to offer you.'It was the first time Mrs. Aouda saw Phileas Fogg looking really sad.'I know, Mr. Fogg, and I'm so sorry. You saved my life. You took time to rescue me, and you lost your bet because of me.''Madam,I couldn't let you die that terrible death, but now you are here, and you need a way to live.I have my house and my possessions...''Maybe your friends could...''I have no friends,' he said sadly.'Well,what about your relatives?''I have no relatives.''I tis easier to live in poverty when there are two of us to share it,' said Mrs. Aouda taking his arm. 'I want to be your wife.'Mr. Fogg got up.Mrs. Aouda saw that there was a small tear in his eye.'I love you,' he said, 'And I want to spend my life with you.''Oh...!'said Mrs. Aouda with a surprised cry.She was so happy that she put her hand to her heart.Passepartout came into the room and saw his master standing close to Mrs. Aouda. He understood immediately.'This is wonderful news!' he said. 'We all need some good news.''Yes', said Phileas Fogg. 'If you agree Mrs. Aouda, wecan get married immediately. Passepartout, do you know where Reverend Wilson lives?'Passepartout ran to Reverend Wilson's house, but five minutes later, at twenty-five to eight he was already back at the house.'Tomorrow morning... he said out of breath. 'You can't get married.''Why?'asked Phileas Fogg.'Because today is Saturday and tomorrow is Sunday!' he said excitedly.'Saturday?Impossible!' replied Phileas Fogg.'Yes,yes, it is. Do you remember? We went around the world and we traveled east and time changes as you go around the world and we're now twenty-four hours ahead.It's Saturday! Hurry, Mr. Fogg! We only have ten minutes. You can still win your bet.'They took Phileas Fogg's carriage to go to the Reform Club.Passepartout wanted to drive.He almost hit two dogs and they almost had more accidents before they arrived at the Reform Club at eight forty-four.'Well,hello my friends,' he said, when he stepped into the Games Room at eight forty-five.'I believe that I am now a rich man,' he said with a small smile.Here he was, eighty days later.And that was how Phileas Fogg won his bet.On Monday morning, Phileas Fogg and Mrs. Aouda were married.Later that morning Passepartout came into his room.'Do you know, mar Fogg,' he said, 'that if you don't go across India, you can go around the world in just seventy-eight days?''Maybe that's true,' said Phileas Fogg.But when we went across India, I met Mrs. Aouda, who is now my lovely wife.'And with these words, they celebrated Phileas Fogg's good fortune.

We start with the Monopoly Series, in which we explore how the game came to be, the real-life connection between the cheapest and most expensive properties, the history of each location, how proportionate the values were then and are today, what the hell a "community chest" is and whether free parking really does exist anywhere in London.  If you love history; or indeed if you hate history, this is the podcast for you…

Phileas Fogg asked.'To France. Bordeaux.''Will you take myself and three other passengers to Liverpool?''To Liverpool? Certainly not,' said the captain, looking at him like he was mad. 'This ship must arrive in Bordeaux by 20 December.'Phileas Fogg thought for a moment.'I'll give you two thousand dollars for each passenger if you take us to Bordeauxt hen,' he said.'Two thousand dollars each?' he repeated, amazed at such a generous offer.He scratched his head.Why was this man offering him so much money? Did he have something to hide? It was a lot of money.He agreed. 'The ship leaves at nine,' he said.Two hours later our four travelers were on the Henrietta and they were leaving the port of New York on their way to Bordeaux.The next day, on 13 December, Phileas Fogg was the new captain of the ship, and the Henrietta was going to Bordeaux.However,Phileas Fogg gave the sailors some money and they agreed to go to Liverpool instead.The crew locked the captain in his cabin, and he was now in there shouting and trying to free himself unsuccessfully.His companions were surprised to find that Phileas Fogg was a good sailor.Passepartout tried to ask him about this, but Phileas Fogg did not want to talk.He had to try and cross the Atlantic in stormy weather and his mind was concentrating on arriving in England on time.He also did not want to lose the ship and all its crew!Fix decided that Phileas Fogg was not just a thief, he was a pirate.'He'snot taking the ship to Liverpool', he thought, 'but to some unknown place where it's safe for him to escape. If I don't get help from the police there, all is lost!'They were half-way across the Atlantic with only five days to go.They were going at top speed and everything was going well, until one of the men came to speak to Phileas Fogg.'If we continue at this speed, we won't have enough coal to get the ship to Liverpool,' he said. 'We must slow down!''We can't,' replied Phileas Fogg. 'We'll burn all the wood on the ship, if we have to,' he told the worried crew member.When they came close to Ireland, only the outside metal of the body of the ship remained.Phileas Fogg took the ship to a port called Queens town.From there they took a train to Dublin and then a ship to Liverpool.Inspector Fix did not understand the man.What was in Liverpool? What was in London that he wanted to return for? This voyage seemed endless.At twenty to midnight on 20 December, they finally arrived in Liverpool.They were exactly six hours away from London.Enough time to get to the Reform Club to win the bet.Inspector Fix put his hand on Phileas Fogg's shoulder.'You are Mr. Phileas Fogg. Is that correct?' he said.'Yes,'said Phileas Fogg slowly.He was a little confused by the question.'Phileas Fogg, I am arresting you in the name of the law,' he said.In a moment, two policemen stood next to Phileas Fogg.Phileas Fogg was very angry. 'You...'he began.'I don't like men who have no loyalty to people who help them like his own friends. How could you do this, when I thought you were an honest person? You are worse than a criminal!'For the first time, Inspector Fix felt bad.He did not know what to do now that he did not have to follow Phileas Fogg around the world.He could see that he was not really a bad man.But...he was a thief, and he wanted the reward for his efforts.He went out of the room.A policeman took Phileas Fogg away and Mrs. Aouda started crying loudly.She put her head on Passepartout's shoulder and they left.Phileas Fogg looked at the walls.He had no money.All his hopes were gone!He was in a police station because they thought he was a thief.He was losing a lot of money.He could only hope for one more amazing event to rescue him.It came sooner than he thought.Passepartout ran back to the police station with Mrs. Aouda.Then Inspector Fix arrived too.His hair was untidy and he could not breathe.'Mr. Fogg,' he cried when he could finally speak."Mr. Fogg! You are free to go!They caught the thief three days ago!'

'The earth doesn't get any smaller! '"Ah!But the earth is smaller,' said Sir Ralph Gautier. 'If you think that we can now go around it ten times quicker than we could one hundred years ago. Did you know that today a man can travel around the world in only three months?''Eighty days to be exact,' Phileas Fogg corrected him."Eighty days?' asked a surprised man at the table."Well,maybe that's true, but only if you don't consider bad weather, storms,shipwrecks, and other things,' said another.'In eighty days, considering all possible events,' continued Phileas Fogg."Ah!You think so, do you, Mr. Fogg?' laughed Sir Ralph, 'Well, I'll bet four thousand pounds that a journey like that is impossible in such a short time!''I repeat that it is possible to do the journey in that time,' said Phileas Fogg,his eyes fixed on Sir Ralph's smile.'Well,if you are so certain, then do it yourself!''I will,' replied Phileas Fogg."When?''Immediately.And I'll bet not four, but twenty thousand pounds that I can go around the world in eighty days; I will return here in 1,920 hours, or, if you prefer, 115,200 minutes. Do you agree to the bet?'They all looked at one another.They could not decide if he was serious.'We agree, ' they said.'Good.I'll take the train for Dover at a quarter to nine this evening. The bet starts as from...' Phileas Fogg took a small notebook and pencil from his pocket and made a note: 2 October, 8.45 p.m.'And I will return here to the Reform Club at eight forty-five on Saturday 21 December. If I am not here by that time, this cheque for twenty thousand pounds is yours, gentlemen! 'And with these words he left the cheque for twenty thousand pounds on the table,picked up his hat and went out of the door.At ten to eight his manservant was surprised to see his new employer come through the door.'Passepartout,we're leaving in ten minutes. We're taking a train to Dover,' he said. 'From there, a boat leaves for Calais at eleven o'clock tonight. We're going to go around the world- in eighty days. We haven't another second to lose! 'His employer did not seem to be in a hurry.The opposite in fact, he spoke a little quicker, but he behaved in the same calm way."Around the world?' said Passepartout to himself.'Well really!' he thought, shaking his head.Just when he finally thought he had the perfect job.He wanted to work for Phileas Fogg because he was a gentleman who lived a quiet life, who always did the same things.'Pack a small bag with just my night things in it, please, and pack one for yourself.We can buy everything else when we need it,' added Phileas Fogg and with these orders he left the room.Passepartout continued to feel a little confused but he followed his master's orders.He quickly packed their bags and at eight o'clock they were ready to leave thehouse.Phileas Fogg opened Passepartout's bag and put twenty thousand pounds into it.He closed it tightly.Twenty minutes later, they were at the station.'It must be the money for the journey,' thought Passepartout as he sat on the train thinking nervously about the money in his bag.After being in the newspapers, Phileas Fogg's journey wasn't a secret.Soon everybody in London was talking about Phileas Fogg's departure and his plan to go around the world in eighty days.Some people thought he was mad, others said he was a genius.But a few days later, the front pages had another story.A certain Inspector Fix, a detective for Scotland Yard, said he knew the identity of the thief.All the evidence pointed in one direction: to a well-known and respectable member of the Reform Club Mr. Phileas Fogg.

He gives it to charity.He likes to see his games as a challenge; a challenge that does not require any physical effort.He has lunch at the Reform Club every day, in the same room, at the same table.He goes home at midnight.He lives in his house in Savile Row, a good address in central London.No one ever goes there, except his manservant, who must always be on time and be completely loyal to Phileas Fogg.In fact, this very morning, his manservant lost his job because the water he brought Phileas Fogg was too hot to shave with.And this is where our story begins.Phileas Fogg was sitting in his armchair waiting for his new manservant at some time between eleven and half past eleven.At exactly half past eleven, Mr. Fogg goes to the Reform Club.He looked up at the hands of the large clock by the wall that counted every second with aloud tick.There was a knock at the door and a young man of about thirty came in."You say that you are French, but your name is John?' asked Phileas Fogg, looking at him carefully.'Jean,sir, not John,' said the young man. 'Jean Passepartout. I am an honest man,sir, and I must tell you that I haven't been a manservant all my life. I was a physical education teacher and a music teacher; then I became a singer. I once rode a horse in a circus, and for a time I worked for the fire brigade in Paris. I found out that a certain Mr. Fogg was looking for a manservant."He is a very clever, careful man," they told me. "You won't find a quieter man in all of England. He does the same thing every day. And so I came here to ask about the job, in the hope of finally being able to live a quiet life.''Yes,someone at the Reform Club told you this I believe - probably the same person who told me about you. Do you understand what type of person I'm looking for?'"Yes,sir. I do, and I think I'm perfect for the job. "Well then, what time is it now?''Eleven twenty-two, Mr. Fogg,' Passepartout replied, taking his pocket-watch out of as mall side pocket.'Exactly four minutes late,' noted Phileas Fogg, looking at his own watch.'So,let's say you started working for me as from -eleven twenty-six.'Phileas Fogg stood up from his armchair, picked up his hat, and went out of the door without saying another word.From this brief introduction, Passepartout was able to make note of his employer.He was about forty years old, an elegant man with an attractive, gentle face.He was tall, with blond hair and a moustache.He was the sort of person who remained incredibly calm, even under pressure.He had gentle eyes that fixed you with a firm stare.He never seemed upset or worried.He was a typical Englishman.It was always difficult to guess an Englishman's true feelings.And our Frenchman?Passepartout had an attractive face and he was incredibly strong.He had blue eyes, and untidy, curly brown hair.He was a sweet person who understood the meaning of true friendship and loyalty.It was just after half past eleven and Passepartout, who was now alone in his new home, decided to look around.After looking in all the different rooms, he finally came to his own bedroom.Above the fireplace there was an electric clock; it was the same electric clock that Phileas Fogg had in his room.The two clocks ticked at the exact same second.Below the clock there was a piece of paper listing the details of Mr. Fogg's day.'Not bad at all, ' thought Passepartout. 'A man who is as regular as clock work! This is just what I was looking for.'

Anglais flegmatique, enragé joueur de whist, Phileas Fogg, dont on ignore tout, mène une vie réglée comme une horloge. Jamais un mot, ni un mouvement inutiles.

Although I have not gone far I definitely feel that I have been on a journey.The debate that propels Phileas Fogg on his epic voyage, around the world in 80 days, takes place in the Reform Club. Some of those considering the possibility of the challenge wish that they could make the journey themselves rather than wagering on it. Jules Verne describes the scene.“The noble lord, confined to his armchair, would have given his whole fortune to be able to travel around the world, in ten years even; and he bet four thousand pounds on Phileas Fogg.” The challenge of my current journey revolves around a constant choice between the armchair and the adventure. There are always excuses that can be made about why we should follow the line of least resistance. Worry can easily lead to analysis paralysis and limit our horizons and our selves. The Danish philosopher and theologian Søren Kierkegaard commenting on this dynamic wrote:“To venture causes anxiety, but not to venture is to lose one's self.... And to venture in the highest is precisely to be conscious of one's self.”Faith grows at the intersection of fear and risk

Mr. Fogg makes it to London, but to win the wager, he must arrive at the Reform Club, and not prison. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bedtime-in-the-public-domain/message

LnR Around the World in Eighty Days 16 Chapter IV Having won twenty guineas at whist, and taken leave of his friends, Phileas Fogg, at twenty-five minutes past seven, left the Reform Club. Passepartout, who had conscientiously studied the programme of his duties, was more than surprised to see his master guilty of the inexactness of appearing at this unaccustomed hour; for, according to rule, he was not due in Saville Row until precisely midnight. Mr. Fogg repaired to his bedroom, and called out, "Passepartout!" Passepartout did not reply. It could not be he who was called; it was not the right hour. "Passepartout!" repeated Mr. Fogg, without raising his voice. Passepartout made his appearance. "I've called you twice," observed his master. "But it is not midnight," responded the other, showing his watch. "I know it; I don't blame you. We start for Dover and Calais in ten minutes." A puzzled grin overspread Passepartout's round face; clearly he had not comprehended his master. "Monsieur is going to leave home?" "Yes," returned Phileas Fogg. "We are going round the world." Passepartout opened wide his eyes, raised his eyebrows, held up his hands, and seemed about to collapse, so overcome was he with stupefied astonishment. "Round the world!" he murmured. "In eighty days," responded Mr. Fogg. "So we haven't a moment to lose." "But the trunks?" gasped Passepartout, unconsciously swaying his head from right to left. "We'll have no trunks; only a carpet-bag, with two shirts and three pairs of stockings for me, and the same for you. We'll buy our clothes on the way. Bring down my mackintosh and traveling-cloak, and some stout shoes, though we shall do little walking. Make haste!" Passepartout tried to reply, but could not. He went out, mounted to his own room, fell into a chair, and muttered: "That's good, that is! And I, who wanted to remain quiet!"

LnR Around the World in Eighty Days 15   Stuart, whose turn it was to deal, gathered them up, and went on: "You are right, theoretically, Mr. Fogg, but practically—" "Practically also, Mr. Stuart." "I'd like to see you do it in eighty days." "It depends on you. Shall we go?" "Heaven preserve me! But I would wager four thousand pounds that such a journey, made under these conditions, is impossible." "Quite possible, on the contrary," returned Mr. Fogg. "Well, make it, then!" "The journey round the world in eighty days?" "Yes." "I should like nothing better." "When?" "At once. Only I warn you that I shall do it at your expense." "It's absurd!" cried Stuart, who was beginning to be annoyed at the persistency of his friend. "Come, let's go on with the game." "Deal over again, then," said Phileas Fogg. "There's a false deal." Stuart took up the pack with a feverish hand; then suddenly put them down again. "Well, Mr. Fogg," said he, "it shall be so: I will wager the four thousand on it." "Calm yourself, my dear Stuart," said Fallentin. "It's only a joke." "When I say I'll wager," returned Stuart, "I mean it." "All right," said Mr. Fogg; and, turning to the others, he continued: "I have a deposit of twenty thousand at Baring's which I will willingly risk upon it." "Twenty thousand pounds!" cried Sullivan. "Twenty thousand pounds, which you would lose by a single accidental delay!" "The unforeseen does not exist," quietly replied Phileas Fogg. "But, Mr. Fogg, eighty days are only the estimate of the least possible time in which the journey can be made." "A well-used minimum suffices for everything." "But, in order not to exceed it, you must jump mathematically from the trains upon the steamers, and from the steamers upon the trains again." "I will jump—mathematically." "You are joking." "A true Englishman doesn't joke when he is talking about so serious a thing as a wager," replied Phileas Fogg, solemnly. "I will bet twenty thousand pounds against anyone who wishes that I will make the tour of the world in eighty days or less; in nineteen hundred and twenty hours, or a hundred and fifteen thousand two hundred minutes. Do you accept?" "We accept," replied Messrs. Stuart, Fallentin, Sullivan, Flanagan, and Ralph, after consulting each other. "Good," said Mr. Fogg. "The train leaves for Dover at a quarter before nine. I will take it." "This very evening?" asked Stuart. "This very evening," returned Phileas Fogg. He took out and consulted a pocket almanac, and added, "As today is Wednesday, the 2nd of October, I shall be due in London in this very room of the Reform Club, on Saturday, the 21st of December, at a quarter before nine p.m.; or else the twenty thousand pounds, now deposited in my name at Baring's, will belong to you, in fact and in right, gentlemen. Here is a cheque for the amount." A memorandum of the wager was at once drawn up and signed by the six parties, during which Phileas Fogg preserved a stoical composure. He certainly did not bet to win, and had only staked the twenty thousand pounds, half of his fortune, because he foresaw that he might have to expend the other half to carry out this difficult, not to say unattainable, project. As for his antagonists, they seemed much agitated; not so much by the value of their stake, as because they had some scruples about betting under conditions so difficult to their friend. The clock struck seven, and the party offered to suspend the game so that Mr. Fogg might make his preparations for departure. "I am quite ready now," was his tranquil response. "Diamonds are trumps: be so good as to play, gentlemen."

LnR Around the World in Eighty Days 13 There were real grounds for supposing, as the Daily Telegraph said, that the thief did not belong to a professional band. On the day of the robbery a well-dressed gentleman of polished manners, and with a well-to-do air, had been observed going to and fro in the paying room where the crime was committed. A description of him was easily procured and sent to the detectives; and some hopeful spirits, of whom Ralph was one, did not despair of his apprehension. The papers and clubs were full of the affair, and everywhere people were discussing the probabilities of a successful pursuit; and the Reform Club was especially agitated, several of its members being Bank officials. Ralph would not concede that the work of the detectives was likely to be in vain, for he thought that the prize offered would greatly stimulate their zeal and activity. But Stuart was far from sharing this confidence; and, as they placed themselves at the whist-table, they continued to argue the matter. Stuart and Flanagan played together, while Phileas Fogg had Fallentin for his partner. As the game proceeded the conversation ceased, excepting between the rubbers, when it revived again. "I maintain," said Stuart, "that the chances are in favour of the thief, who must be a shrewd fellow." "Well, but where can he fly to?" asked Ralph. "No country is safe for him." "Pshaw!" "Where could he go, then?" "Oh, I don't know that. The world is big enough." "It was once," said Phileas Fogg, in a low tone. "Cut, sir," he added, handing the cards to Thomas Flanagan. The discussion fell during the rubber, after which Stuart took up its thread. "What do you mean by `once'? Has the world grown smaller?"  

LnR Around the World in Eighty Days 11 Chapter III IN WHICH A CONVERSATION TAKES PLACE WHICH SEEMS LIKELY TO COST PHILEAS FOGG DEAR Phileas Fogg, having shut the door of his house at half-past eleven, and having put his right foot before his left five hundred and seventy-five times, and his left foot before his right five hundred and seventy-six times, reached the Reform Club, an imposing edifice in Pall Mall, which could not have cost less than three millions. He repaired at once to the dining-room, the nine windows of which open upon a tasteful garden, where the trees were already gilded with an autumn colouring; and took his place at the habitual table, the cover of which had already been laid for him. His breakfast consisted of a side-dish, a broiled fish with Reading sauce, a scarlet slice of roast beef garnished with mushrooms, a rhubarb and gooseberry tart, and a morsel of Cheshire cheese, the whole being washed down with several cups of tea, for which the Reform is famous. He rose at thirteen minutes to one, and directed his steps towards the large hall, a sumptuous apartment adorned with lavishly-framed paintings. A flunkey handed him an uncut Times, which he proceeded to cut with a skill which betrayed familiarity with this delicate operation. The perusal of this paper absorbed Phileas Fogg until a quarter before four, whilst the Standard, his next task, occupied him till the dinner hour. Dinner passed as breakfast had done, and Mr. Fogg re-appeared in the reading-room and sat down to the Pall Mall at twenty minutes before six. Half an hour later several members of the Reform came in and drew up to the fireplace, where a coal fire was steadily burning. They were Mr. Fogg's usual partners at whist: Andrew Stuart, an engineer; John Sullivan and Samuel Fallentin, bankers; Thomas Flanagan, a brewer; and Gauthier Ralph, one of the Directors of the Bank of England—all rich and highly respectable personages, even in a club which comprises the princes of English trade and finance. "Well, Ralph," said Thomas Flanagan, "what about that robbery?" "Oh," replied Stuart, "the Bank will lose the money." "On the contrary," broke in Ralph, "I hope we may put our hands on the robber. Skilful detectives have been sent to all the principal ports of America and the Continent, and he'll be a clever fellow if he slips through their fingers." "But have you got the robber's description?" asked Stuart. "In the first place, he is no robber at all," returned Ralph, positively. "What! a fellow who makes off with fifty-five thousand pounds, no robber?" "No." "Perhaps he's a manufacturer, then." "The Daily Telegraph says that he is a gentleman."

LnR Around the World in Eighty Days 9 At half-past eleven, then, Passepartout found himself alone in the house in Saville Row. He began its inspection without delay, scouring it from cellar to garret. So clean, well-arranged, solemn a mansion pleased him; it seemed to him like a snail's shell, lighted and warmed by gas, which sufficed for both these purposes. When Passepartout reached the second story he recognised at once the room which he was to inhabit, and he was well satisfied with it. Electric bells and speaking-tubes afforded communication with the lower stories; while on the mantel stood an electric clock, precisely like that in Mr. Fogg's bedchamber, both beating the same second at the same instant. "That's good, that'll do," said Passepartout to himself. He suddenly observed, hung over the clock, a card which, upon inspection, proved to be a programme of the daily routine of the house. It comprised all that was required of the servant, from eight in the morning, exactly at which hour Phileas Fogg rose, till half-past eleven, when he left the house for the Reform Club—all the details of service, the tea and toast at twenty-three minutes past eight, the shaving-water at thirty-seven minutes past nine, and the toilet at twenty minutes before ten. Everything was regulated and foreseen that was to be done from half-past eleven a.m. till midnight, the hour at which the methodical gentleman retired.  

LnR Around the World in Eighty Days 1 by Jules Verne ((1826-1905) Written in 1872 Chapter I Mr. Phileas Fogg lived, in 1872, at No. 7, Saville Row, Burlington Gardens, the house in which Sheridan died in 1814. He was one of the most noticeable members of the Reform Club, though he seemed always to avoid attracting attention; an enigmatical personage, about whom little was known, except that he was a polished man of the world. People said that he resembled Byron—at least that his head was Byronic; but he was a bearded, tranquil Byron, who might live on a thousand years without growing old. Certainly an Englishman, it was more doubtful whether Phileas Fogg was a Londoner. He was never seen on 'Change, nor at the Bank, nor in the counting-rooms of the "City"; no ships ever came into London docks of which he was the owner; he had no public employment; he had never been entered at any of the Inns of Court, either at the Temple, or Lincoln's Inn, or Gray's Inn; nor had his voice ever resounded in the Court of Chancery, or in the Exchequer, or the Queen's Bench, or the Ecclesiastical Courts.

Shocking his stodgy colleagues at the exclusive Reform Club, enigmatic Englishman Phileas Fogg wagers his fortune, undertaking an extraordinary and daring enterprise to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days.

The city within a city! That's right, the end is near and this week we head to Westminster, where Phileas Fogg's pals are waiting in the Reform Club to see if he will win his wager. What ensues is one of the most dramatic passages in literary history as the seconds tick down to Fogg's deadline. There's also a taste of Local Life before a classic College Contest. Enjoy!
