The Reading passage raises several doubts about the accuracy of the memoir written by the Chevalier deSeingalt, whereas the professor defends the memoir in the lecture by clarifying the seeming contradictions in the Chevalier’s accounts.
The professor argues that because the Chevalier was rich in assets but poor in cash while he was living in Switzerland, he occasionally had to borrow funds to pay for expensive recreational activities. According to the professor, having low amounts of cash is not the same as being financially poor. The reading, however, holds that as someone who had to borrow large amounts of money from others, the Chevalier must have fabricated stories of his wealthy life in Switzerland.
Moreover, the professor challenges the skepticism expressed in the reading regarding the reliability of the conversations with votaries that the Chevalier recorded in his memoir. She explains that because the Chevalier had a habit of recording each conversation with Voltaire immediately after they met, he was able to recall those discussions in detail even years later.
Finally the professor rejects the claim in the reading that the Chevalier bribed his way out of a prison in Venice. She says that the pact that none of the other prisoners, even those with better resources, had been able to do so shows that bribery was unlikely. Furthermore, she points to a government paper that recorded the repair work done to the Chevalier’s prison cell, citing this as strong evidence that the account of his escape from the prison was indeed accurate.
