How it begins

In a foggy street in London there was a club with leather armchairs and a fireplace. The most punctual member of the club was a gentleman named Phileas Fogg, who arrived at the same hour every evening. That evening he made a wager with three of the members and said that he could travel round the world in eighty days.
