The novel Around the World in 100 days by Gary Blackwood (2010) serves as a sequel to the events in 80 days. He chooses to take his recently hired servant, Jean Passepartout, on his peculiar adventure. He passed ten hours out of the twenty-four in Saville Row, either in sleeping or making his toilet.Phileas Fogg bets £20,000 (around £2 million at current) that he is able to travel around the world in eighty days. He never used the cosy chambers which the Reform provides for its favoured members. He breakfasted and dined at the club, at hours mathematically fixed, in the same room, at the same table, never taking his meals with other members, much less bringing a guest with him and went home at exactly midnight, only to retire at once to bed. He lived alone in his house in Saville Row, whither none penetrated. Phileas Fogg was not known to have either wife or children, which may happen to the most honest people either relatives or near friends, which is certainly more unusual. The game was in his eyes a contest, a struggle with a difficulty, yet a motionless, unwearying struggle, congenial to his tastes. Fogg played, not to win, but for the sake of playing. He often won at this game, which, as a silent one, harmonised with his nature but his winnings never went into his purse, being reserved as a fund for his charities. His sole pastimes were reading the papers and playing whist. Those who were honoured by a better acquaintance with him than the rest, declared that nobody could pretend to have ever seen him anywhere else. It was at least certain that Phileas Fogg had not absented himself from London for many years.
