Correct this discussion about the Chevalier de Seingalt's memoir.
The lecture argues that some facts presented in the Chavalier's memoir could be reliable since based on historical evidence.First, the professor disagrees that being rich and borrowing money are incompatible and rarely happen. He says that wealth can be stored in fixed assets hard to convert to money. Thus the Chavalier might have spent all his money and had to borrow some more until he could liquidate his assets. Secondly, the lecture shows that witnesses confirm that the Chavalier used to keep records and notes of his conversations with Voltaire explaining why he could remember precisely exact phrases from conversations held long ago. Lastly, the professor calls attention to governmental records of repairs made to the cell ceiling that held him prisoner while he stayed there. This evidence supports the Chevalier's story about his escape from prison through the cell ceiling.
