`` Diamonds are trumps , '' he added ; `` your lead , Mr. Stuart . '' In which Phileas Fogg astonishes Passe-partout . At twenty-five minutes past seven , Phileas Fogg , having won twenty guineas at whist , took leave of his friends and left the club . At ten minutes to eight he reached home . Passe-partout , who had conscientiously studied his programme , was astonished to see Mr. Fogg appear at such an unusual hour , for , according to all precedent , he was not due in Saville Row till midnight . Phileas Fogg went straight up to his room and called for Passe-partout . Passe-partout did not reply .
