So let me get this straight. Candide and Cunégonde just met up after being apart for a long time and are telling each other what has been going on and Bam! Issacar comes in and is questioning Cunégonde about him and the Inquisitor not being enough for her and pulls out a dagger to go after Candide. Candide draws out a sword and next thing you know Issacar is dead on the ground. Then Cunégonde starts freaking out about what's going to happen to them and Candide suggests asking the old woman what they should do when what do you know the Inquisitor comes in and before he even has time to react Candide kills him. Now Cunégonde is really freaking out when the old woman suggests taking the horses out back and fleeing. But little did you know the old woman had only one buttock for a seat, but she ended up making it 30 miles where they stopped at a little town of Avacena. This is crazy, Voltaire has an insane imagination and is very creative especially with names.
P.S I commented on Brannen Ullman's post.
Seriously, this story is one of the most creative and yet ridiculous stories I have read yet! However, I enjoy reading it for the same reasons.
