(I) ‘Passepartout blamed himself for his master’s misfortune.’ Explain. (2)
Best answer
Answer: Passepartout felt that if he had warned Mr. Fogg about Detective Fix’s plans, Fogg would not have taken Fix to Liverpool, would not have been arrested, and would not have lost the wager.
When Fogg seemed to have lost the wager and his fortune, Passepartout was tortured by remorse. He had known of Fix’s plan to arrest Fogg but had not told his master; otherwise Fogg would never have given Fix passage to Liverpool. He cried, “It was my fault,” but Fogg calmly replied, “I blame no one.”
