As Candide was going home with the abbe he felt some qualms of conscience for having been guilty of infidelity to Miss Cunegund. The abbe took part with him in his uneasiness; he had but an inconsiderable share in the thousand pieces Candide had lost at play, and the two diamonds which had been in a manner extorted from him; and therefore very prudently designed to make the most he could of his new acquaintance, which chance had thrown in his way.
Al volverse Candido á su casa con el abate, sintió algunos remordimientos por haber cometido una infidelidad á Cunegunda; y el señor abate tomó parte en su sentimiento, porque le habia cabido una muy pequeña en los diez mil duros perdidos por Candido al juego, y en el valor de los dos brillantes, medio-dados y medio-estafados: y era su ánimo aprovecharse todo quanto pudiese de lo que el trato de Candido le podía valer.
