we begin this story remember that every historic day begins with someone legendary and that's someone in this

story is a special man Mr Filius Fogg wait where did he go of course it's time

for Mr fog to have his tea so as I was saying this is the story of Mr philius bogg a man who times

everything he can this is not acceptable my new assistant was supposed to be here by a whole minute back that's 60 seconds

Miss Abel yes Mr fog make a note of this unacceptable Behavior should I also calculate the time it took for you to fret over it sir

though Mr Fogg was one of the wealthiest men in London no one really knew where his wealth came from and this obviously made others gossip about this secretive man

I heard that he secretly mines gold he invites people at home and robs them so secretive and quiet was Mr Fogg that

nobody dared to go talk to him uh not that Mr fog ever complained he didn't like visitors and other people anyway hmm this must be him

[Music] apologies I was expecting your Hub to answer the door are you aware that you

are a total 65 seconds late oh I urgently apologize uh again Matthew stop wasting more time and come along you have exactly 42 minutes to get

yourself acquainted with the house and do all the pending chores Mr Abel here will help you with everything you need whoa what is this thing I call it Mis

Abel since she is able to do all that I cannot Matthew I refuse if there are things you cannot do enough

chatter get started wow most you doesn't like to talk much isn't it misable here is the dusting cloth from The Upper Room you could start with dusting the

antiques here think of my stars be so default cannot do that excuse truly miss table one of Mr Fox achievements was that he was part

of the reform Club it was coveted by many meaning that many people in London desired to be part of this club but however it was offered only to the most

prestigious and intelligent people and everybody at the reform Club was sure that Mr Fogg was not a worthy member oh it's plain truth he is here because of

his money Philly is still good to see you lad have a seat so tell me Mr fog

what is your take on the current situation on this tourist Canal oh let the lad breathe he is but the most

prestigious and young members of our club I am making sure that he is up to date

so that the name of our club is not pulled down because of one wealthy man don't pay any attention to him he is

just bitter because they've decided to up the yearly membership fee of the club I am aware that people don't like me

here but I am worthy of being here Arthur you know that my ideas and inventions can Usher us into a modern society

oh really now like your idea of a machine that does house chores I know someone else who's as smart as you are

it's in the papers today some overconfident person claims that with the opening of the new rails section in

India can make it possible to go Around the World in 80 Days enough ignore them villius but Mr Fogg wasn't

listening he was already onto something if from here 7 Days 12 and now with this new route that is what happened this

article is not crazy it's possible it's possible to circumnavigate the World in 80 Days oh have some mercy on us

you are no good for this club you will single-handedly bring all of us down yeah

people he is but just a young land he doesn't know what he is talking about but I do if one calculates the distance time and the waste of transports then

with this new route one can travel around the world in 80 Days enough I've wasted our time and diluted the

respect of this prestigious institution your membership stands canceled right now who's in favor Mr Fogg was shocked to see how much he

was hated in his own City but he refused to give up all right let's have a wager then

Away Joe yes a wager a bet to be a part of this prestigious club or not should not be decided so easily without any

proof I will prove that one can second navigate the globe in 80 Days that means I filliest Fogg will travel around the world in 80 Days

half my wealth that is 20 000 pounds of money Phyllis don't be crazy lad oh don't stop

him Arthur he is a grown-up boy he can make his own decisions very well Mr philius vulgar now that you

are so confident about your pain I would like to sweeten the deal if Mr Fox said seeds in his hair crazy

Jenny and Returns on the 80th day [Music] and that the president of the club for five long years

now this was interesting Mr Fogg very well knew that once he gets to be the president that he can finally bring all his inventions out the reform Club was

run by some strict people who surprisingly hated change and reform this could change everything but

remember fog if you fail to go around the world and be back here on the 80th day no matter for what reason you lose

your house the membership with reform club and half of your wealth I agree and that was that the beginning

of a historic Journey but on the other end of London a different story was taking shape
