·         ‘“We have the wherewithal to pay the Governor of Buenos Aires now, ‘ [Candide] said,’ if a price can be put on Miss Cunegonde, that is. Let’s head for Cayenne and take ship there and then we’ll see what kingdom we’re going to buy.”’	·         52	·         (R) Candide and his servant are leaving Eldorado. Voluntarily! The one place they weren’t kicked out of or had to flee for their lives, they choose to leave so that they can brag about the riches they got and get back Candide’s lover. I don’t understand Candide at all. He’s always talking about the “best all worlds’ but when he finally finds it, he leaves it behind.
