Mr. Phileas Fogg lived, in 1872, at No. 7, Saville Row, Burlington Gardens, the house in which Sheridan died in 1814. He was one of the most noticeable members of the Reform Club, though he seemed always to avoid at-tracting attention~apersonaboutwhomlittlewas known, except that he was a polished man of the world.Certainly an Englishman, it was more doubtful whether Phileas Fogg was a Londoner.He was never seen on Change, nor at the Bank, nor in the counting-rooms of the City. He certainly was not a manufacturer; nor was he a merchant or a gentleman farmer.He belonged, in fact, to none of the numerous societies which swarm in the English capital.
Phileas Fogg was a member of the Reform, and thatwas all.
The way in which he got admission to this exclusive club was simple enough.He was recommended by the Barings, with whom he had an open credit. His checks were regularly paid at sight from his account current,which was always flush.
Was Phileas Fogg rich? Undoubtedly. But those who knew him best could not imagine how he had made his fortune,and Mr.Fogg was the last person tO whom toapply for the information.Whenever he knew that money was needed for a noble,useful,or benevolent purpose,he supplied it quietly and sometimes anonymously.He talked very little and seemed all the more mysterious for his cold manner.His daily habits were quite open tO observation;but whatever he did was so exactly the same thing that he had always done before,that the wits of the curious were fairly puzzled.Had he traveled?It was like-ly,for no one seemed tO know the world more familiarly;there was no spot SO out of the way that he did not appear to have an intimate acquaintance with it.He must have traveled everywhere,at least in spirit.
