Chapter 29 Summary • As Pangloss, the Baron, Candide, Martin, and Cacambo were talking aboard the ship, the landed on the shore of the Sea of Marmoa, at the Prince of Transylvania’s house where they see Cunegonde and the old woman hanging towels on a clothes line. Candide was frightened by Cunegonde’s appearance because she has become ugly, but he embraces her out of respect, and she reminds him of his promise to marry her. The baron will not let this happen no matter how much Candide pleads (even though he doesn’t really mean it because Cunegonde has become ugly) and Candide says he would kill the baron again if he listened to his passions.
