It was all very well for an Englishman like Mr. Fogg to make the tour of the world with a carpet-bag; a lady could not be expected to travel comfortably under such conditions.

Mr. Fogg and Aouda got into the palanquin, their luggage being brought after on a wheelbarrow, and half an hour later stepped upon the quay whence they were to ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR Born in Washington, D.C., George Makepeace Towle (1841–1893) was a lawyer, politician, and author.
