People sang and shouted. The noise came through the trees. The guide stopped the elephant
and they walked. They could see the temple, white in the dark night. Some men with guns sat
round it and watched.
'The young woman is inside the temple,' said the guide, quietly. The dead man was on top of
some wood, to the right. ' When the sun comes up, they will put the woman next to her
husband. Then they will start the fire.'
'We'll have to think of something. We have to set the young woman out of there,' said Phileas
Fogg.
But Phileas Fogg and the guide did not have any ideas. And the men with guns round the
temple did not go to sleep. They watched. They watched very carefully.
After an hour or two the guide said, 'Mr. Fogg, where is your servant ?'
Phileas Fogg could not answer that. Passepartout was not there.
