| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne: which is to San Francisco what Regent Street is to London,
the Boulevard des Italiens to Paris, and Broadway to New York--

When Passepartout reached the International Hotel,
it did not seem to him as if he had left England at all.
The ground floor of the hotel was occupied by a large bar,
