1The Long Noses form a peculiar company, under the direct patronage of the god Tingou. Attired after the fashion of the
2Middle Ages, they bore upon their shoulders a splendid pair of wings; but what especially distinguished them was the
3long noses which were fastened to their faces, and the uses which they made of them. These noses were made of bamboo,
4and were five, six, and even ten feet long, some straight, others curved, some ribboned, and some having imitation warts
5upon them. It was upon these appendages, fixed tightly on their real noses, that they performed their gymnastic
6exercises. A dozen of these sectaries of Tingou lay flat upon their backs, while others, dressed to represent
7lightning-rods, came and frolicked on their noses, jumping from one to another, and performing the most skilful leapings
8and somersaults. As a last scene, a "human pyramid" had been announced, in which fifty Long Noses were to represent the
9Car of Juggernaut. But, instead of forming a pyramid by mounting each other's shoulders, the artists were to group
10themselves on top of the noses. It happened that the performer who had hitherto formed the base of the Car had quitted
11the troupe, and as, to fill this part, only strength and adroitness were necessary, Passepartout had been chosen to take
12his place. The poor fellow really felt sad when--melancholy reminiscence of his youth!--he donned his costume, adorned
13with vari-coloured wings, and fastened to his natural feature a false nose six feet long. But he cheered up when he
14thought that this nose was winning him something to eat. He went upon the stage, and took his place beside the rest who
15were to compose the base of the Car of Juggernaut. They all stretched themselves on the floor, their noses pointing to
16the ceiling. A second group of artists disposed themselves on these long appendages, then a third above these, then a
17fourth, until a human monument reaching to the very cornices of the theatre soon arose on top of the noses. This
18elicited loud applause, in the midst of which the orchestra was just striking up a deafening air, when the pyramid
19tottered, the balance was lost, one of the lower noses vanished from the pyramid, and the human monument was shattered
20like a castle built of cards! It was Passepartout's fault. Abandoning his position, clearing the footlights without the
21aid of his wings, and, clambering up to the right-hand gallery, he fell at the feet of one of the spectators, crying,
22"Ah, my master! my master!" "You here?" "Myself." "Very well; then let us go to the steamer, young man!" Mr. Fogg,
23Aouda, and Passepartout passed through the lobby of the theatre to the outside, where they encountered the Honourable
24Mr. Batulcar, furious with rage. He demanded damages for the "breakage" of the pyramid; and Phileas Fogg appeased him by
25giving him a handful of banknotes. At half-past six, the very hour of departure, Mr. Fogg and Aouda, followed by
26Passepartout, who in his hurry had retained his wings, and nose six feet long, stepped upon the American steamer.
