When the famous Danish poet, Christian Winther, was short of money, Lynge bought a selected collection of his best books, paid them in cash, as he always did, and then wrapped up the books, until Winther was able to buy back the books at the same price.
Man ved f.eks. at da den berømte digter Christian Winther på et tidspunkt var i pengenød, købte Lynge en del af dennes bogsamling, betalte i kontanter og pakkede bøgerne ind og gemte dem væk indtil Winther igen var i stand til at købe dem tilbage for samme pris.
