At the end of chapter 12, Mr.Fogg and Sir Francis came up with an idea while they are traveling through Pillaji. Mr. Fogg had 12 hours to spare of his journey. So there is suppose to be a sacrifice that takes place at a pagoda of Pillaji. So they thought, "Suppose we save this woman." "I have yet twelve hours to spare; I can devote them to that." Why, you are a man of heart!" "Sometimes," replied Phileas Fogg, quietly;"when i have the time." So, because Mr. Fogg has time to spare he had decided to try and help this woman(sacrifice) out thus, showing he has a heart cause he has time. So i think this is a great point for Phileas because he is not too busy with a knit tight schedule so, now he has time to do things that he feels strongly about or hits him in the heart about. I think this one event will change his ways for later in the book to stop having such a knit tight lifestyle and to get out a little bit and live a little. Instead of being on a timed schedule. He is just really going with the flow of things which is a great change for him.
