Sample Comparison
Original
Mr. Phileas Fogg lived, in 1872, at No. 7, Saville Row, Burlington Gardens, the house in which Sheridan died in 1814. He was one of the most noticeable members of the Reform Club, though he seemed always to avoid attracting attention; an enigmatical personage, about whom little was known, except that he was a polished man of the world. People said that he resembled Byron—at least that his head was Byronic; but he was a bearded, tranquil Byron, who might live on a thousand years without growing old.

In 1872, Mr. Phileas Fogg lived at No. 7, Saville Row, Burlington Gardens, the same house where Sheridan had died in 1814. Mr. Fogg was a notable member of the Reform Club, though he always tried to avoid drawing attention to himself. He was a mysterious gentleman, known only as a refined man of the world. Some people said he looked like the poet Byron, but he was a calm and bearded version, who seemed like he could live a thousand years without aging.
