The other, who was his master, held out his passport with the request that the consul would do him the favour to visa it.

You know that a visa is useless, and that no passport is required?" ¡¡¡¡"I know it, sir," replied Phileas Fogg; "but I wish to prove, by your visa, that I came by Suez." ¡¡¡¡"Very well, sir." ¡¡¡¡The consul proceeded to sign and date the passport, after which he added his official seal. Mr. Fogg paid the customary fee, coldly bowed, and went out, followed by his servant. ¡¡¡¡"Well?" queried the detective.
