Candide had not been long at his inn, before he was seized with a slight disorder, owing to the fatigue he had undergone. As he wore a diamond of an enormous size on his finger and had among the rest of his equipage a strong box that seemed very weighty, he soon found himself between two physicians, whom he had not sent for, a number of intimate friends whom he had never seen, and who would not quit his bedside, and two women devotees, who were very careful in providing him hot broths.
Apénas llegó á la posada, le acometió una ligera enfermedad originada del cansancio; y como llevaba al dedo un enorme diamante, y habian advertido en su coche una caxa muy pesada, al punto se le acercáron dos doctores médicos que no habia mandado llamar, varios íntimos amigos que no se apartaban de él, y dos devotas mugeres que le hacian caldos.
