f000001,54.360,55.440,"Ah, Pangloss!" |
|
f000002,55.440,56.840,"Pangloss!" |
|
f000003,56.840,58.200,"Ah, Martin!" |
|
f000004,58.200,58.840,"Martin!" |
|
f000005,58.840,62.360,"Ah, my dear Cunegonde, what sort of a world is this? said Candide on board the Dutch ship." |
|
f000006,62.360,64.880,"Something very foolish and abominable, said Martin." |
|
f000007,64.880,64.920,"You know England?" |
|
f000008,64.920,66.920,"Are they as foolish there as in France?" |
|
f000009,66.920,69.200,"It is another kind of folly, said Martin." |
|
f000010,69.200,73.440,"You know that these two nations are at war for a few acres of snow in Canada, and that they spend over this beautiful war much more than Canada is worth." |
|
f000011,73.440,78.600,"To tell you exactly, whether there are more people fit to send to a madhouse in one country than the other, is what my imperfect intelligence will not permit." |
|
f000012,78.600,80.640,"I only know in general that the people we are going to see are very atrabilious." |
|
f000013,80.640,84.600,"Talking thus they arrived at Portsmouth." |
|
f000014,84.600,96.640,"The coast was lined with crowds of people, whose eyes were fixed on a fine man kneeling, with his eyes bandaged, on board one of the men of war in the harbour." |
|
f000015,96.640,111.200,"Four soldiers stood opposite to this man; each of them fired three balls at his head, with all the calmness in the world; and the whole assembly went away very well satisfied." |
|
f000016,111.200,121.160,"What is all this? said Candide; and what demon is it that exercises his empire in this country?" |
|
f000017,121.160,126.640,"He then asked who was that fine man who had been killed with so much ceremony." |
|
f000018,126.640,130.040,"They answered, he was an Admiral." |
|
f000019,130.040,133.080,"And why kill this Admiral?" |
|
f000020,133.080,138.400,"It is because he did not kill a sufficient number of men himself." |
|
f000021,138.400,147.120,"He gave battle to a French Admiral; and it has been proved that he was not near enough to him." |
|
f000022,147.120,154.840,"But, replied Candide, the French Admiral was as far from the English Admiral." |
|
f000023,154.840,165.320,"There is no doubt of it; but in this country it is found good, from time to time, to kill one Admiral to encourage the others." |
|
f000024,165.320,183.880,"Candide was so shocked and bewildered by what he saw and heard, that he would not set foot on shore, and he made a bargain with the Dutch skipper were he even to rob him like the Surinam captain to conduct him without delay to Venice." |
|
f000025,183.880,186.120,"The skipper was ready in two days." |
|
f000026,186.120,192.120,"They coasted France; they passed in sight of Lisbon, and Candide trembled." |
|
f000027,192.120,195.880,"They passed through the Straits, and entered the Mediterranean." |
|
f000028,195.880,199.360,"At last they landed at Venice." |
|
f000029,199.360,204.280,"God be praised! said Candide, embracing Martin." |
|
f000030,204.280,209.040,"It is here that I shall see again my beautiful Cunegonde." |
|
f000031,209.040,211.640,"I trust Cacambo as myself." |
|
f000032,211.640,219.320,"All is well, all will be well, all goes as well as possible." |

f000033,219.320,220.840,"End of chapter." |
