Phileas Fogg and the Bank Robbery

• Phileas Fogg walked to the Reform Club after his morning routine of walking 575 steps with each foot and had breakfast consisting of a side-dish, broiled fish, roast beef, tart, and tea.
• He spent most of his day reading newspapers until dinner time with his usual whist partners at the club.
• Fogg joined the conversation about a recent robbery of £55,000 from the Bank of England where the thief had taken advantage of the bank's lack of security measures.
• The bank had a touching confidence in the honesty of the public and did not have guards or gratings to protect its treasures.
• The package of notes was taken from the principal cashier's table while he was registering the receipt of three shillings and sixpence.
• The robbery was discovered when the package of notes was not found at five o'clock and was passed to the account of profit and loss.
• Detectives were sent to Liverpool, Glasgow, Havre, Suez, Brindisi, New York, and other ports to find the thief, and a judicial examination was entered upon.
• The Daily Telegraph reported that the thief was a gentleman, and Gauthier Ralph, one of Fogg's whist partners, believed that skilled detectives would catch the thief.
• Andrew Stuart, another whist partner, asked if they had the thief's description, but Ralph replied that he was not a robber.
• Fogg emerged from behind his newspaper and made the remark that the thief was a gentleman, which caught the attention of his friends.
• Fogg's routine was disrupted when he decided to take a bet that he could travel around the world in 80 days, starting from that day, and left the club that night with his newly hired French servant, Passepartout.
• The robbery was a significant event in London at the time, and Fogg's involvement in the conversation foreshadows his upcoming journey and the challenges he will face.
