Mrs.Fogg, who is nervous about firearms, had drawn the loads without telling Fogg.

The language used by Mr.Fogg when he made this discovery was extremely disgraceful, and he felt sorry for it a moment afterward.

As he grew cooler he loaded both barrels and started afresh for the rabbits.

He saw one in a few moments and was about to fire, when he noticed that there were no caps on the gun.

He felt for one, and, to his dismay, found that he had snapped the last one off.
