In Chapter 24, Candide searches Venice for Cacambo and Cunegonde, then discovers that the apparently happy Paquette and Friar Giroflée both suffer deeply. Their accounts support Martin’s doubts about happiness, but Candide gives them money, renews his hope of finding Cunegonde, and requests a visit to Senator Pococurante.
