Accompanied by Passepartout, he leaves London by train at 8:45 pm on Wednesday, October 2, 1872, and is due back at the Reform Club at the same time 80 Days later, Saturday, December 21, 1872.
He accepts a wager for 20,000 (equal to about 1.6 million today) from his fellow club members, which he will receive if he makes it Around the World in 80 days.
At the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in an argument over an article in The Daily Telegraph stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India, it is now possible to travel Around the World in 80 days.
Having dismissed his former valet, James Forster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 F (29 c) instead of 86 f (30 c), Fogg hires a Frenchman by the name of Jean Passepartout as a replacement.
Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club.
Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision.
