Day6
The 12th of December
The next morning, Fogg, Mrs Aouda, Passepartout and Fix leave on a small ship – the Henrietta – going to France.
Later, Fogg gives the sailors money, and they agree to go to Liverpool – not to France.
The sailors lock the captain in his room.
The 16th of December
The Henrietta is in the middle of the Atlantic and there's no coal. 'Burn all the wood on the ship!' says Fogg.
The 20th of December
The ship arrives in Queenstown – in the south of Ireland – and there's no more wood on it.
'Let's get off here,' says Fogg to Mrs Aouda, Passepartout and Fix.
Fix doesn't arrest Fogg in Queenstown. He's waiting for them to arrive in England.
The 21st of December
They get on a train and travel to Dublin. There they get a fast ship to Liverpool.
In Liverpool Fix arrests Fogg at last, and takes him to prison.
In prison Fogg looks at his diary.
The 21st of December, 11:40 am, we arrive in Liverpool.
At two o'clock he looks at his watch. 'There's time to go to London on a fast train and to be at my club by 8.45 this evening,' he thinks.
At half past three, Fix arrives, with Mrs Aouda and Passepartout.
'I'm sorry, Mr Fogg,' says Fix. 'The gentleman thief – James Strand – is in prison. You're free to go!'
Angrily Fogg punches Fix in the face.
Then Fogg, Mrs Aouda and Passepartout run to Liverpool station. They get a fast train to London.
The train arrives at ten minutes to nine. Fogg is five minutes late for his meeting with Stuart.
Fogg doesn't want to get to his club late, so he goes home with Mrs Aouda and Passepartout.
Around the world in eighty days and five minutes – he's the loser! He has only £20,000 in the bank and he must give it all to Stuart.
'I'm sorry for bringing you here, to a poor man's home,' he says to Mrs Aouda the next morning. 'Will you marry me?' asks Mrs Aouda. 'Yes,' says Fogg.
That afternoon Fogg tells Passepartout. 'I want to marry Mrs Aouda tomorrow, the 23rd December. Can you speak to the people at Marylebone church about it?'
Soon Passepartout returns. 'Today's the 21st December. When you travel east around the world you get an extra day. You aren't late for your meeting at the Club after all, but you must run.'
The 21st of December
At a quarter to nine Fogg enters his club. 'I win,' he says to Stuart. 'Where's my £20,000?'
Next Monday Fogg – the world-traveller – marries Mrs Aouda. He's a very happy man.
