Candide, Cunegonde, and the old lady were running away because they did not want to get caught for the murder. They did not have money so the old lady told them to sell one of the horses and she would ride with Cunegonde.
Cunegonde’s diamonds and money have been stolen. The Old Woman suspects the Franciscan priest. The old woman says they will have to sell a horse to get some funds. They reach Cadiz, where troops are assembling to rebel. Since Candide was in the Bulgar army, he knows the moves, so he gets to command a whole bunch of guys. Candide, Lady Cunegonde, the old woman, and the two servants they get for Candide’s being a Captain, all get on a ship to South America. They all argue about Pangloss’s views on life. Candide impresses the general of an army with his military skills and procures two additional horses. They ruminate on Pangloss's philosophy. Miss Cunégonde and the Old Woman compete with each other for the title of most aggrieved and unfortunate. The Old Woman reveals the extent of her own hardships. Daughter of a pope and a princess, the Old Woman grew up in a luxurious castle. Summarized it in more detailed way but I like it.
