Just as they rose from table, in came four Serene Highnesses, who had also been stripped of their territories by the fortune of war, and had come to spend the remainder of the Carnival at Venice. Candide took no manner of notice of them; for his thoughts were wholly employed on his voyage to Constantinople, where he intended to go in search of his lovely Miss Cunegund.
Al levantarse de la mesa, llegáron á la misma posada quatro Altezas Serenísimas que tambien habian perdido sus estados por los acasos de la guerra, y venian á pasar lo restante del carnaval á Venecia; pero ne se informó siquiera Candido de las aventuras de los recien-venidos, no pensando en mas que en ir á buscar á su amada Cunegunda á Constantinopla.
