Phileas Fogg looked at the timetable. 'The Mongolia will
arrive in Bombay on 22nd October' he wrote in his little black
book.
But she arrived two days early because there was a north-
west wind behind her. He wrote 'two days early' in the little
black book, but he did not smile.Phileas Fogg looked at the timetable. 'The Mongolia will

warrant. He could not take Phileas Fogg back to England
without a warrant. But the warrant was not there. It was in the
post from England, so Fix could do nothing.
Passepartout looked at Bombay. Everything was interesting
to the young man. He stood outside the fine temple at Malabar.
He liked it, so he went inside.But Passepartout didn't know that you can't go into a temple
in India in your shoes.
'This temple is really lovely,' thought Passepartout. He
looked at the beautiful things in there. Suddenly three men in
orange clothes started to hit him. Then they threw him to the
floor and took his shoes. They were very angry. They shouted
something, but Passepartout didn't understand the language. But
the Frenchman was young and strong. He pushed the men away
and ran out of the temple into the street.At 7.55, five minutes before the train left, Passepartout
arrived at the station without his shoes, without a hat, and
without the bag of new clothes. He found Phileas Fogg at the
dinner table.
Fix was at the station restaurant too. He sat behind Phileas
Fogg and watched him. He listened to Passepartout and Phileas
Fogg. Passepartout moved his arms up and down when he told
Phileas Fogg about the temple.The detective smiled.' So the servant did something wrong in
this country,' he thought.' I can use that. The thief will have to
stay in India. And I can wait for the warrant from England.'
Phileas Fogg and Passepartout sat on the train through the
night, the next day and the next night. Everything was different
outside from one minute to the next minute.
