Hvordan eventyret sluttede vil blive set anon. Aouda var ivrig, selvom hun sagde ikke noget. Som for Passepartout, han troede Mr. Fogg manøvre simpelthen herlige. Kaptajnen havde sagt ”mellem elleve og tolv knob,”Og Henriette bekræftede hans forudsigelse.

It is true that, once arrived, the affair on board the Henrietta, added to that of the Bank of England, might create more difficulties for Mr. Fogg than he imagined or could desire.
