What change in attitude does Fix relate to Passepartout?

Up until this point in the story, readers have always understood Passepartout as part of a unit, never separated from Fogg and very much defined by his relationship to him. The beginning of this section is the first time readers see Passepartout alone. He tries his hardest, but it is clear that he is so used to taking Fogg's orders and following in his shadow that he has difficulty figuring out how to function by himself. His absolute elation upon seeing Fogg again proves that with his master is where he, the sidekick, is most comfortable.
