The word "decamp" is used in literature to evoke a sense of sudden departure or strategic retreat. In Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet’s works, for instance, the term illustrates a calculated exit—whether it be a planned departure to secure funds for a venture, as seen in The Count of Monte Cristo [1], or a prelude to unfolding events in The Three Musketeers [2]. Meanwhile, La Fontaine's rendition adds a whimsical quality, as the characters “flutter, soar, often grounding” without ceremonial announcement, suggesting that decamping can also capture an image of stealthy and graceful flight [3].
