He listened at doors and stole a few documents with such dexterity that the King decorated him with the Order of Saint-Louis. **<br>		In an age where dressing up was all the rage, [[Chevalier d'Éon\|Charles de Beaumont]], chevalier d'Eon, slight of build, made his cross-dressing debut at a costume ball.
