So, a question for the group:
What was your favourite setback or mode of transport in this book?
My favourite setback was the train stopping in India because the tracks hadn't been actually completed yet! I have zero idea if such a thing would have been true at the time of this book, but as someone who worked on a railroad for a bit, and has always followed them, I found it completely possible and plausible! The elephant as a solution? Perhaps less so. Though the gift of the elephant at the end of the journey was consistent with what we grew to understand as Fogg's character.
