twenty minutes past eight
Passe-partout nearly let the bag fall , as if it were weighted with the twenty thousand pounds in gold . Master and man went downstairs together ; the door was shut and double-locked . Phileas called a cab from the bottom of Saville Row , and drove to Charing Cross Station . It was twenty minutes past eight when they reached the railway . Passe-partout jumped out . His master followed , and paid the cabman . At this moment a poor beggar-woman , carrying a baby , looking very miserable with her naked feet and tattered appearance , approached Mr. Fogg , and asked for alms .
