Around the World in Eighty Days: Chapter 2 Summary & Analysis

Passepartout views Fogg, his new master, as “exactitude personified.” Passepartout, by contrast, is lively and laid-back; it is unclear whether he will live up to Fogg’s strict standards. In his bedroom, Passepartout finds a clock that is synced with Fogg’s and a schedule that details his mater’s whereabouts and his own duties down to the minute. Inspecting the rest of the house, he is thrilled to find that it is “coziness, comfort, and method idealized” and he believes that, though Fogg operates like a machine, they will get along well.
