Page 294 - Phileas Fogg was free! He walked to the detective, looked him steadily in the face, and with the only rapid motion he had ever made in his life, or which he ever would make, drew back his arms, and with the precision of a machine knocked Fix down.

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...

Page 312 - How was it that a man so exact and fastidious could have made this error of a day ? How came he to think that he had arrived in London on Saturday, the twenty-first day of December, when it was really Friday, the twentieth, the seventy-ninth day only from his departure ? The cause of the error is very simple.
