Phileas Fogg did not talk much. He lived in a house on one of the best streets of London. But where did he come from? He had so much money that he did not have to work. But how did he make his money? All that people could tell was that Phileas Fogg did the same things at the same times every day. One morning, Fogg fired his servant for not bringing the newspaper at the right time. That same day another man came asking for the job. He had come from France a long time before. ?My name is Jean,? he said. ?But people have called me Passepartout. I am good at finding my way out of trouble. I have had too much trouble! I want to live in a place where there are no surprises. I never want to be called Passepartout again!? Fogg did not hear him.

Fogg put on his hat. ?You have the job. Here is a list. It shows what I will be doing at each time every day. It shows what you must do and when.?
