All this Passepartout learned from Aouda, who told him what had taken place on the voyage from Hong Kong to Shanghai on the Tankadere, in company with one Mr. Fix. Passepartout did not change countenance on hearing this name. He thought that the time had not yet arrived to divulge to his master what had taken place between the detective and himself.
A man may divulge a secret, say, at St. Paul de Loanda, take ship to Zanzibar, and there his own secret will be told to him. Rumour met Maurice Gordon almost at the outset of his journey northward.

"I am not at liberty," the captain rejoined, "to divulge the source from which my information came. I am only able to acquaint you with my intentions, and to trust that you will offer no obstruction."
Was it a telegram containing an unpleasant announcement? Or would some one come in panting and exhausted and divulge a piece of terrible news? But the words they addressed to each other were of quite a different nature. "But who can it be at such a late hour?" said one woman to another. "Who else can it be but Piotr Ivanitch!" "That's so; he likes coming late."
"I was of course known but to a few; among those few were the general under whom I served and my more immediate officers, who I knew would not divulge my secret." "And they did not?" "No; kept it nobly, and kept their eyes upon me in battle; and I have reaped a rich harvest in force, honour, and riches, I assure you." "Thank Heaven!" said Bertha.
