Hi & welcome, Karel!  Recently you wrote in a message to Gleb Hlebov:

 KK>  Based on discussion with Grok: ;-)

 KK>  Modern English is different from 19th-century English.


          Yes...



 KK>  In your example, the archaic phrase was retained as it
 KK>  was written by Jules Verne.


  ... and my sources agree that this material was originally written
in the 19th century. They also agree that Jules Verne was French.

  The most highly respected translation seems to have been published
by Osgood in 1874. IOW, I hear what you`re saying & I imagine others
do too. :-)
