Side stories (#5 chapter #9)

I noticed in the last few chapters that Passepartout, after his brief encounter with Mr. Fix. That they got into the habit of having brief conservations about Mr. Fogg and his adventure. Mr. Fix asks,"Do you know, Mr. Passepartout, that this pretended tour in eighty days may conceal some secret errand-perhaps a diplomatic mission?" He replies,"Faith, Monsieur Fix, I assure you I know nothing about it, nor would I give half-a-crown to find out." So, i think it is very good that Passepartout is not giving Mr. Fix any important information. But the whole situation makes me move in the direction of something with Passepartout that he is going to say something and set off Mr. Fix to 100% believing that Phileas is the robber. Or, he is going to become partners with Mr. Fix. So, this whole situation makes me feel really uncomfortable because Passepartout could possible destroy the adventure for Phileas.
