However, the speaker states that the Chevalier who borrowed a great deal of money, was not poor. He has a lot of assets which solds and uses its money for parties and gambling. Therefore, the Chevalier was forced to borrow money since he was waiting for his money to arrive.
Second, according to the lecture, the Chevalier completed his memoir after many years that meets Voltairs. Hence, it is impossible for him to capture conversations accurately since it happens long time ago. In contrast, the lecturer explains that the Chevalier after meeting the Voltaire wrote what he remembered about their conversation each night. Moreover, there are some witnesses that see the Chevalier consults with others.
Third, based on the passage, the Chaevalier did not escape from ceiling. He had a number of politically well-conected friend who offered bribes to jailer to free him. On the contrary, the speaker assets that copious prisoners had more powerful friends than the Chevalier but they could not escape the prison by bribing. Also, the ceiling of the Chevalier was repaired after his escape and because of that we can conclue he escaped by making a hole in ceiling.
