Well, quite. And as I seem to recall, Nodier claimed a lot of dubious things about this meeting, if it ever indeed took place, as well. LOL. Good stuff.

As I said, I am still not sure that Nodier is the origin of this rumour, but I must defend Michelet in any case, as I am sure he did not make it up himself, but merely - perhaps rather foolishly - took it from somebody else.
