Timeframe: Dec 01, 1690-Feb 01, 1691

Dumesnil insulted la Maupin. She challenge him in the Pace de Victoires and when he refused to take up the sword, caned him. She began to leave but returned and took his watch and snuff box. The next day he claimed he was set upon by three or more robbers, but la Maupin produced the watch and box and revealed that she was his sole assailant. This seems to have happened shortly after her debut.
