The gardens were laid out in elegant taste, and adorned with fine marble statues; his palace was built after the most approved rules of architecture. The master of the house, who was a man of affairs, and very rich, received our two travelers with great politeness, but without much ceremony, which somewhat disconcerted Candide, but was not at all displeasing to Martin.
A kertek gyönyörüen gondozottak voltak és szép márványszobrok ékesitették azokat; a palota pompásan volt megépitve; a ház ura, körülbelül hatvan éves, dusgazdag ember, nagyon udvariasan fogadta a két kiváncsi utast, de nem tulságos szivességgel, ami kissé lehangolta Candide-ot, de annál jobban inyére volt Martinnak.
