asked:
How much did the Henrietta cost? In my copy it says £60,000, but Mr Fogg had only taken with him £20,000 much of which was spent by this time. Also Mr Fogg's fortune was £40,000, half of it he took to cover his expenses and half he kept to honour the bet. Is there a mistake in my copy? Thanks
