ten minutes after twelve
`` What time did the last train arrive from Liverpool ? '' asked Thomas Flanagan . `` At twenty-three minutes past seven , '' replied Gauthier Ralph . `` The next does not arrive till ten minutes after twelve . '' `` Well , gentlemen , '' resumed Andrew Stuart , `` if Phileas Fogg had come in the 7:23 train , he would have got here by this time . We can , therefore , regard the bet as won . '' `` Wait , do n't let us be too hasty , '' replied Samuel Fallentin .
