WhenPassepartoutdidnotappearthenextmorningtoanswerhismaster\'sbell，MrFogg，notbetrayingtheleastvexation，contentedhimselfwithtakinghiscarpet-bag，callingAouda，andsendingforapalanquin。

Atallevents，therewasonethingtobethankfulfor；Passepartoutwasnotwithhismaster；anditwasaboveallimportant，aftertheconfidencesFixhadimpartedtohim，thattheservantshouldneverhavespeechwithhismaster。
