Chevalier de Seingalt

The lecturer deems Chevalier's memoir as accurate and reliable, unlike otherwise stated in the reading passage. She rebukes the points made in passage questioning the reliability of the memoirs one by one.

Firstly she counters the point that Chevalier must have been poor since he had to borrow money from a merchant. She explains that borrowing money does not necessarily translate into being poor. Cheveliar was very affluent person and was involved in luxuries such as parties and gambling, which require a lot of money. Chevelier had money in terms of gold, land and other assets which take time to convert into money. Which is why he had to borrow money from the merchant.

The second point made in the passage is that Chevalier wrote about his meeting with Voltaire years after the meeting actually took place and hence the details of the conversation must have been obscured and cannot be termed as reliable. The lecturer counters this by saying that it has been confirmed by witnesses that Chevalier used to takes notes from his conversation with Voltaire each night. While writing his memoir, Chevelier referred to those notes and hence the details provided in his memoir regarding his meeting with Voltaire can be completely trusted.

The third point questioning the reliability of Chevelier's memoir mentioned in the passage is that the incidence of Chevelier escaping a prison in Venice is a false claim since Chevelier has good friendship with the guards and he must have bribed them to release him rather than making a heroic escape. In response to this, the lecturer explains that other prisoners were known to have more powerful friends than Chevelier but they were not able to escape the prison. Moreover, old Venician documents show that after Chevelier's escape from the prison, the ceiling of his cell needed to be repaired. Thus, the lecturer poses a counter question, if Chevelier did not escape as mentioned in the memoir, then what was the need to repair the ceiling?

In conclusion, the lecturer counters the argument made in the passage regarding the reliability of Chevelier's memoir by providing a different perspective and additional facts which were not considered previously.
