quick thinking when it comes to problem-
solving.
Well have to go by foot, Phileas decided.Passepartout looked down at his new shoes.

dressed. I have twelve hours to spare we

Agreed! Passepartout. (p 49)

Passepartout tried to attack the detective in
a rage. (p 130)

identity of Fogg is being questioned
Passepartouts mouth dropped wide open.
A robber! he said. He is not a robber! He
is the most honorable of all men!(pgs 75-
76)
So now you know my monsieur is an honest
man, Passepartout said. And youve givenup this crazy idea that he is the bank

neck at the first sign of you acting up like
you did in Hong Kong!(p 97)

up.
(p 51)

Passepartout is always vigilant. He is alert
to what is happening around him.
As the days passed, Passepartout began to
think it was quite strange that he should
keep running into Mr Fix. At once,
Passepartout had a chilling thought. He
must be following us!
Thats it!Passepartout thought. He must be
a spy sent from the Reform Club. And my
monsieur is such an honest man thats justterrible!(p 63)
About halfway through the twelve-day trip,
the weather turned. The sea started to roll
heavily as a storm brewed. The ship fellbehind schedule. This upset Passepartout,

but Phileas Fogg remained calm. (p 65)

wanted was to make the monsieur unhappywith him. (p 38)
Mr Passepartout, you are charged withillegally entering a temple. These shoes are
the proof that you were indeed there, thejudge said.
My shoes!Passepartout said loudly.
So you do admit you were there?
Passepartout nodded slowly. (p 50)
With a heavy heart, Passepartout followed
his monsieur. He did not enjoy having his
boss spent money on mistakes that he had
made. (p 60)
That might cause problems between Phileas
Fogg and the last thing Passepartout
wanted to do was cause the monsieur more
trouble!
(p 64)
Trustworthy
Passepartout is trustworthy. Anyone can
rely on him to do something properly.
Passepartout held on tightly to the
carpetbag with monsieurs money. (p 18)
Phileas booked rooms for them at the Club
Hotel. They would stay there until they
boarded the steamer tomorrow... With that
taken care of, he left Aouda with
Passepartout to keep her company and set
off to find her cousin JeejahJeejeebhoy. (p
69)
Fix decided that now was the right time to
tell Passepartout everything. He knew it
was the only way to keep Phileas Fogg in
Hong Kong until the warrant arrived. He
asked the butler if he wanted to share a
meal with him and the two went into a
small restaurant near the wharf. (p 72)
Stay! What I have to say concerns MrFogg. Fix placed his hand on

Passepartouts arm and said quietly,Youve guessed who I am?
Passepartout smiled. I have indeed.(p 73)
Then you must know that my job involves a
lot of money, Fix said. Im willing to giveyou some if youll keep Mr Fogg in HongKong. Dont tell him about the ship.(p 73)
Not tell him! Thats going too far, sir. I
thought the members of the Reform Club
were honest men.(p 73)
Detective Fix

The wink confused Fix. Did it mean that
Passepartout knew he was a detective? Had
he been found out? (p 66)
Inquisitive / Curious
He was curious about the gentleman who
had sent his butler to get his passport
stamped
(p 24)
Persistent / Determined ... he had made a promise to himself that he
wouldnt give up. He would do his duty to
make sure he caught the robber... Fix had tokeep his mind on his task. (p 81)
He thought he had found a sure-fire way of
keeping Phileas in India until he could get
the proper arrest warrant(p 59)
Your master is a robber. He has stolen a
great deal of money from the Bank of
Englandand Ive been sent to get it back(p
74)
Fix decided to follow Phileas until the bitter
end (p 96)
Materialistic
Then you know that my job involves a lot of
money, Fix said. Im willing to give you
some if you keep Mr.Fogg in Hong Kong.(p
73)
As for Fix, everytimePhileas paid for
something, he saw his reward fading away.
After all, the money he was spending
belonged to the bank. The more money the
robber spent, the less he had to give back to
the bank.

Honest During the first few days of the trip, Aouda
spent much of her time getting to know
Phileas and Passepartout. She told them her
life story. Her father had been a very
wealthy merchant who dealt in cotton. They
had lived a wonderful life until he ran intotrouble with the bandits. Then she told them
about her cousin, JeejahJeejeebhoy, who
lived in Hong Kong.
(p 61)
Well, Aouda said, if youll have me asyour wife, Ill be yourfamily. We can face
the future together.(p 139)
I think I should ask the question, she said.Now that you are rich again, would you
still like to marry me?(p 143)
Caring / Considerate But Passepartout, Aoudasaid. Whats
become of him? We need to find him.(p
79)
Meanwhile, Phileas and Aouda went to the
police station to try to find Passepartout.
They left a sum of money with the police sothey could search for Passepartout. (p 80)
Once they determined that it was safe,
Aouda, Phileas, and Fix got off the train and
stood on the platform. Where is
Passepartout? Aouda cried. Hes not here!(p 111)
Phileas tried to comfort her, but he knew
what she and Fix were thinking Passepartout had been taken by the
bandits! Aouda started to weep. (p 112)
Phileas went to bed that night with a heavy
heart. Aouda did, too. She felt so bad for the
kind man who had rescued her. But she
didnt know what she could do to help him
now.
(pgs 136 and 137)
Persistent Aouda rushed out of the station. She asked
