The reading and the lecture are both about the Chevalier de Seigalt's memoir, which recounts his life and adventures. The author of the reading believes that the Chevalier changed and invented some stories to make his memoir more exciting. The lecture castes doubt on the claims made in the article. She thinks that this memoir is a reliable historical source, apposing the three argument illustrated in the passage.
First of all, the author claims that while living in Swizzerland, the Chevalier wasn’t really rich. He believes that he had to borrow big amount of money from a Swiss merchant. This point is challenged by the lecture who says that the Chavalier had to do so, not because of luck of money but because he had to wait for his money to arrive after selling his proporty.
Secondly, the author states that the discussions between Voltaire and the Chavalier, reported in the memoir, is not accurate. He argues the possibility that the Chevalier could remember the details of the conversations and wrote them many years after that. The lecturer rebuts this argument. She suggests that the Chevalier wrote down the conversations, each night after the events and kept the notes with him. He used these notes to write his memoir. She elaborates in this by mentioning that there were witnessess who had lived with the Chavalier and had seen him referring to his notes to remember the discussion.
Finally, the author mentions that the Chevalier’s ran out from the prison was the result of jailers' bribe . The lecturer, on the other hand, believes that the Chevalier wasn’t able to bribe the jailers. according to her, there were big powerful people in the prison who couldn't manage for their escape, how could the Chevalier? She puts forth the idea that there is an evidence in an Venicien governmental documents which explains that the cell had to be repaired after the Chevalier’s escape.
