My predictions from Prompt 6 were partly incorrect. Detective Fix was not sent or paid by any member of the Reform Club. However I was right in predicting that he was trying to find the culprit so that he can get a percentage of the stolen money as an award. I was also right in predicting that Fix did not truly want to solve the case, because further in the novel the author reveals that Fix was merely pretending to go around the world to chase Phileas Fogg when his real purpose was to flee the law in England. At the end, Fix gets nothing that he wanted. When Fogg, Passepartout, Aouda, and Fix arrive in Liverpool, Fogg is arrested but set free when it is found that the actual robber was caught three days ago. So Fix ends up getting no money and is back in England, unable to free himself
