| Jul 8 at 16:25 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | @AmosJoshua The preceding lines state that the new servant "was due at the house between eleven and half-past" - Passepartout isn't late, his 11:29 arrival is exactly within the expected window. Fogg immediately proceeds by leaving the house for his 11:30 routine; if Passepartout was late, Fogg would already have been gone. | |

| Jul 7 at 21:43 | comment | added | Florian F | There is the "No matter", which could mean that the exact number isn't important, the fact that it is different is already an error. But it doesn't look like Phileas Fogg, who insists on exactitude. | |

| Jul 7 at 12:44 | comment | added | Amos Joshua | I read this as Fogg having expected Passepartout at 11:25. Since it's 11:29, Fogg sees Passepartout as being 4 minutes late, rather than his watch. | |
