Title: Around the World in Eighty Days
Author: Jules Verne
Words I did not understand:
enigmatic-mysterious
avaricious- greedy
taciturn- quiet
conjecture- guess
congenial- pleasing in nature
viand- an article of food
decanter- a vessel used for holding and serving wine or brandy
sumptuous- luxuriously fine or large
itinerant- characterized by traveling
This chapter (In Which Phileas Fogg and Passepartout Accept Each Other, the One as Master, the Other as Man) is mainly explaining the character and routine of Phileas Fogg and the employment of Jean Passepartout (former singer, gymnast, and fire-fighter) as the successor of James Forster, a servant of Phileas Fogg, who was dismissed on account of bringing Fogg shaving water two degrees too cold.
