f000001,16.400,24.800,"This Issachar was the most choleric Hebrew that had ever been seen in Israel since the Captivity in Babylon." |
|
f000002,24.800,31.360,"What! said he, thou bitch of a Galilean, was not the Inquisitor enough for thee?" |
|
f000003,31.360,34.840,"Must this rascal also share with me?" |
|
f000004,34.840,53.480,"In saying this he drew a long poniard which he always carried about him; and not imagining that his adversary had any arms he threw himself upon Candide: but our honest Westphalian had received a handsome sword from the old woman along with the suit of clothes." |
|
f000005,53.480,63.080,"He drew his rapier, despite his gentleness, and laid the Israelite stone dead upon the cushions at Cunegonde's feet." |
|
f000006,63.080,67.840,"Holy Virgin! cried she, what will become of us?" |
|
f000007,67.840,70.240,"A man killed in my apartment!" |
|
f000008,70.240,75.320,"If the officers of justice come, we are lost!" |
|
f000009,75.320,86.160,"Had not Pangloss been hanged, said Candide, he would give us good counsel in this emergency, for he was a profound philosopher." |
|
f000010,86.160,90.080,"Failing him let us consult the old woman." |
|
f000011,90.080,96.920,"She was very prudent and commenced to give her opinion when suddenly another little door opened." |
|
f000012,96.920,101.560,"It was an hour after midnight, it was the beginning of Sunday." |
|
f000013,101.560,104.800,"This day belonged to my lord the Inquisitor." |
|
f000014,104.800,116.120,"He entered, and saw the whipped Candide, sword in hand, a dead man upon the floor, Cunegonde aghast, and the old woman giving counsel." |
|
f000015,116.120,144.560,"At this moment, the following is what passed in the soul of Candide, and how he reasoned: If this holy man call in assistance, he will surely have me burnt; and Cunegonde will perhaps be served in the same manner; he was the cause of my being cruelly whipped; he is my rival; and, as I have now begun to kill, I will kill away, for there is no time to hesitate." |
|
f000016,144.560,158.720,"This reasoning was clear and instantaneous; so that without giving time to the Inquisitor to recover from his surprise, he pierced him through and through, and cast him beside the Jew." |
|
f000017,158.720,169.120,"Yet again! said Cunegonde, now there is no mercy for us, we are excommunicated, our last hour has come." |
|
f000018,169.120,179.720,"How could you do it? you, naturally so gentle, to slay a Jew and a prelate in two minutes!" |
|
f000019,179.720,190.760,"My beautiful young lady, responded Candide, when one is a lover, jealous and whipped by the Inquisition, one stops at nothing." |
|
f000020,190.760,226.000,"The old woman then put in her word, saying: There are three Andalusian horses in the stable with bridles and saddles, let the brave Candide get them ready; madame has money, jewels; let us therefore mount quickly on horseback, though I can sit only on one buttock; let us set out for Cadiz, it is the finest weather in the world, and there is great pleasure in travelling in the cool of the night." |
|
f000021,226.000,234.360,"Immediately Candide saddled the three horses, and Cunegonde, the old woman and he, travelled thirty miles at a stretch." |
|
f000022,234.360,248.440,"While they were journeying, the Holy Brotherhood entered the house; my lord the Inquisitor was interred in a handsome church, and Issachar's body was thrown upon a dunghill." |
|
f000023,248.440,262.760,"Candide, Cunegonde, and the old woman, had now reached the little town of Avacena in the midst of the mountains of the Sierra Morena, and were speaking as follows in a public inn." |

f000024,262.760,263.960,"End of chapter." |
