"Mr.Fogg is influenced by no one.

Has he ever understood that my gratitude to him is overflowing?
Has he ever read my heart?
My friend, he must not be left alone an instant! You say he is going to speak with me this evening ?" "Yes, madam; probably to arrange for your protection and comfort in England." "We shall see," replied Aouda, becoming suddenly pensive.
Throughout this day (Sunday) the house in Saville Row was as if uninhabited, and Phileas Fogg, for the first time since he had lived in that house, did not set out for his club when Westminster clock struck half-past eleven.
Why should he present himself at the Reform?
His friends no longer expected him there.

As Phileas Fogg had not appeared in the saloon on the evening before (Saturday, the 21st of December, at a quarter before nine), he had lost his wager.

It was not even necessary that he should go to his bankers for the twenty thousand pounds; for his antagonists already had his cheque in their hands, and they had only to fill it out and send it to the Barings to have the amount transferred to their credit.
Mr.Fogg, therefore, had no reason for going out, and so he remained at home.

He shut himself up in his room, and busied himself putting his affairs in order.
