Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 16 of 16 The victory of Oudenarde obliged the queen to make her usual etate-procession to St. Paul's, for the purpose of returning thanks for the success of her arms, which thanksgiving was appointed for August 19, 1708. The duchess of Marlborough, who deemed herself the heroine of the day, was remarkably full of bustle and business on such occasions. Among other important affairs connected with her office as mistress of the robes, she arranged the queen's jewels in the mode she chose them to be worn.
