Around the World in Eighty Days: Back in London
‘One minute more, and the wager would be won. Andrew Stuart and his partners suspended their game. They left their cards, and counted the seconds. At the fortieth second, nothing. At the fiftieth, still nothing. At the fifty-fifth, a loud cry was heard in the street, followed by applause, hurrahs, and some fierce growls. The players rose from their seats. At the fifty-seventh second the door of the saloon opened; and the pendulum had not beat the sixtieth second when Phileas Fogg appeared, followed by an excited crowd who had forced their way through the club doors, and in his calm voice, said, ‘Here I am, gentlemen!’
Phileas Fogg finally returned to London, and he was just on time to win his bet. This is where our journey ends, and we’d like to finish it with these beautiful images of London by Depositphotos contributors. Stay tuned!
