Fogg, not betraying the least vexation, contented himself with taking his carpetbag, calling Aouda, and sending for a palanquin. It was then eight o'clock; at half-past nine, it being then high tide, the Carnatic would leave the harbor. Mr.
Carr had put Herbert's wardrobe in order, and he had bought himself a capacious carpetbag and an umbrella, and looked forward with eagerness to the day on which their journey was to commence.
I don't know whether the situation appalls you as much as it does me " He broke off as he heard the bell ring. "That's David, he said he was coming." Then as David appeared laden with the lost carpetbag and a huge box of chocolates, he waved him to a chair, and took up his speech again.
"I will stay," he said. A few moments later, Mr. Fogg pressed the young woman's hand, and, having confided to her his precious carpetbag, went off with the sergeant and his little squad. But, before going, he had said to the soldiers, "My friends, I will divide five thousand dollars among you, if we save the prisoners." It was then a little past noon.
When David had finally succeeded in tracing the ancient carpetbag in the lost and found department of the cab company, Eleanor was able to set up her household gods, and draw from them that measure of strength and security inseparable from their familiar presence.
Perhaps they would go as far as Paris, and it would do his eyes good to see Paris once more. But surely a gentleman so chary of his steps would stop there; no doubt but, then, it was none the less true that he was going away, this former homebody. By eight o'clock Passepartout had packed the modest carpetbag, containing the wardrobes of his master and himself.
Arrived in the city, he took his carpetbag in his hand, and crossing the street, walked at random, not being familiar with the streets, as he had not been in New York but twice before, and that some time since. "I don't know where to go," thought Robert. "I wish I knew where to find some cheap hotel."
He took out his scanty wardrobe from the carpetbag, and put it away in one of the drawers of the bureau. "I might just as well enjoy all the privileges of the hotel," he said to himself. He took out his brush and comb, and brushed his hair. Then he locked the door of No. 66 and went down-stairs to the ladies' parlor. He did not have to wait long. In five minutes Miss Sinclair made her appearance.
"I think we can get a cheap suit for fifteen or twenty dollars. When you have got the money, we will call on the tailor and see." "Shure, I'll feel like a gentleman with a suit like that." "Mary, go and get the carpetbag. I've packed Andy's clothes all ready for him." Mary soon reappeared with the carpetbag, and Andy set out on his return.
It was just at sunrise on Tuesday morning that the old steamer "Columbia," having Ishmael on board, landed at the Seventh Street wharf, and the young man, destined some future day to fill a high official position in the Federal government, took his humble carpetbag in his hand and entered the Federal city.
