Fogg’s self-respect is shattered by an arrogant widower’s ridicule.

Fogg’s self-respect is shattered by an arrogant widower’s ridicule, worrying Abigail and Passepartout even before a disaster strikes.

Our trio land in the heart of the Italian countryside and hitch a ride on the train to Brindisi. But on board, Fogg encounters an arrogant bully who is challenged by Fogg’s easy rapport with his young, grieving son.

Passepartout is struggling to process what happened in Paris, and Fix is concerned that she may have backed the wrong horse. When disaster strikes, can Fogg apply his brilliant mind to the problem and save the day? 

Back home in London, Bellamy worries that Fogg might have what it takes to make it around the world.
