Explore "Off on a Comet" by Jules Verne on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Under the still diminishing influence of the sun's attraction, but / without let or hindrance, Gallia continued its interplanetary course, / accompanied by Nerina, its captured satellite, which performed its / fortnightly revolutions with unvarying regularity.
Meanwhile, the question beyond all others important was ever recurring / to the minds of Servadac and his two companions: were the astronomer's / calculations correct, and was there a sound foundation for his / prediction that the comet would again touch the earth? But whatever / might be their doubts or anxieties, they were fain to keep all their / misgivings to themselves; the professor was of a temper far too / cross-grained for them to venture to ask him to revise or re-examine the / results of his observations.
