eight o'clock
Having purchased what they required , they returned to dinner at the hotel Mrs. Aouda subsequently retired to rest , leaving Mr. Fogg reading _ The Times _ and _ Illustrated News _ . Had Mr. Fogg been a man likely to be astonished at anything , he would have been surprised at the absence of his servant at bedtime ; so believing that the steamer did not start for Yokohama till the following morning , he did not trouble himself ; but Passe-partout did not appear when Mr. Fogg rang for him next morning , and then he learnt that his servant had not come in during the night . Without a word Mr. Fogg packed his bag , and sent to call Mrs. Aouda and for a palanquin . It was eight o'clock , and the _ Carnatic _ was to sail at high-water at half-past nine . Mr. Fogg and his companion got into the palanquin and reached the quay . Then , and not till then , they were informed that the _ Carnatic _ had left the previous evening . Mr. Fogg , who had made up his mind to find the steamer and the servant both awaiting him , was obliged to go without either .
