Chapter 28 di 37 · 10 min per leggere: chapter
In Chapter 28, Aouda, Fix, and Passepartout use whist to keep Phileas Fogg from encountering Colonel Stamp Proctor as their train crosses the mountains. When a damaged bridge blocks the route, the engineer races across despite Passepartout’s unheard suggestion to separate passengers from the train, and the bridge collapses behind them.
Cosa succede
- The train travels through snowy mountain country, while Passepartout worries about delays.
- Aouda spots Colonel Stamp Proctor and enlists Fix and Passepartout to prevent a meeting with Fogg.
- Fix arranges a whist game that keeps Fogg occupied inside the car.
- A signalman stops the train because the bridge near Medicine Bow has broken cables and cannot safely carry it.
- Forster proposes crossing at maximum speed, while passengers ignore Passepartout’s suggestion that they cross on foot first.
- The train speeds safely across, and the bridge immediately falls into the rapids.
