While in Bombay Jean gets very curious and gets in a bit of trouble. They get on the train to go to Calcutta and meet a friend of Mr.Fogg. this man is Sir Francis, and he distinguished himself in the last Sepoy revolt. He too is going to Calcutta. they get mostly there when the train stops because there is no more track until a city close to Calcutta. The train was advertising from Bombay to Calcutta and no one was informed they would be traveling 50 miles to get on the other train. Mr. Fogg buys an elephant and hires a guide and they set off.
I felt that Jeans curiosity of the cultures was very immature and it could have cost Fogg his bet. I also find it interesting how he wasn't informed that 50 miles of track was incomplete and he would have to find his own way across. luckily he had two extra days to spare.
