The passage suggests about how the memoir by Chevalier has been a controversial item subject to dangerous blaming and distractions from the cunning personality of Memoir. In the lecturer's point of view, she states that the allegations put by Chevalier's critics against him no hold water. While explaining the justification behind it, she states a few possible scenarios against the critics' accusations.
The first allegation where critics said that even if Chevalier's was so-called "rich", then why did he had to borrow money from a swiss merchant? The lecturer justifies that, it could be possible that the time taken to convert an amount of liquid asset into cash would have taken days. So, it could also be possible that Chevalier would have required a large amount of money in a state of urgency. This forced him to borrow some money from the merchant in order to manage his temporary monetary obligations. This explanation directly hits the allegation to its core, unless, the amount of time it took convert assets into cash -- which the lecturer states to be time-taking, was instead a fast process.
The second accusation the critics spouse on is that the conversations remembered and written by Chevalier's in his memoir might be inaccurate. This could be because it is humanly impossible to remember the exact conversation between two speakers. The lecturer, counteracts to this statement, by citing evidence from Chevalier's colleagues and friends. She states that his friends underscored on the fact that Chevalier constantly updated the conversations he had with Voltaire and managed them very well along the years, which indeed helped him in writing an accurate transcript of the whole conversation he had with Voltaire.
The third and the final statement given by critics against Chevalier's memoir is that he had bribed the local jail and fled off jail due to his politically well-connected friends in Venice. The lecturer, in proving this wrong, asserts that there were more powerful men in the same jail who could have easily gotten out of that cell. Also, she puts for some evidence of a roof repair in the same cell in which Chevalier was held at, to show that the assumptions made by the critics on the means of Chevalier’s escape from the prison, were completely wrong.
The stated piece of information above by the Professor makes her contended on the false image made by critics in the case of Chevalier. Also, she is quite convinced that the whole memoir written by Chevalier is plausible, even though it might look a bit too imaginable.
