When Jean, who was known as Passepartout, began to work for Phileas Fogg, Eaq., he found his "ideal" that his master functions like clockwork. The time of doing everything was writen down for him.

Cool! I like that, let me remember a Chinese proverb--a word once spoken cannot be taken back even by a team of four horses, in other word, do what you said.

Now, i am thinking about what is Passepartout's reflection when he hear that he is going to travel around the world in eighty days with his clockwork master. May be crazy,or quit his job.
