The rash exploit had been accomplished1; and for an hour Passepartout laughed gaily2 at his success. Sir Francis pressed the worthy3 fellow's hand, and his master said, `Well done!' which, from him, was high commendation; to which Passepartout replied that all the credit of the affair belonged to Mr Fogg. As for him, he had only been struck with a `queer' idea; and he laughed to think that for a few moments he, Passepartout, the ex-gymnast, ex-sergeant fireman, had been the spouse4 of a charming woman, a venerable, embalmed5 rajah! As for the young Indian woman, she had been unconscious throughout of what was passing, and now, wrapped up in a travelling-blanket, was reposing6 in one of the howdahs.
The elephant, thanks to the skilful7 guidance of the Parsee, was advancing rapidly through the still dark-some forest, and, an hour after leaving the pagoda8, had crossed a vast plain. They made a halt at seven o'clock, the young woman being still in a state of complete prostration9. The guide made her drink a little brandy and water, but the drowsiness10 which stupefied her could not yet be shaken off. Sir Francis, who was familiar with the effects of the intoxication11 produced by the fumes12 of hemp
