When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

Dora Caverson, Australia’s Oldest Woman, Turns 112
Dora Caverson, the oldest living woman in Australia, celebrated her 112th birthday yesterday in Dianella, Perth.
Caverson was born as Dora Fridberg in Gorbals, Glasgow, Scotland, on 10 September 1914. As a young woman, she worked for Cunard Line, a British cruise liner and shipping company, and also travelled across Canada and the United States.
Returning to England, Caverson married her husband, Joe Reuben Caverson, in 1954. Their son Stephen was born the following year. Caverson also brought up her stepdaughter, Ruth. The family later relocated to South Africa. Caverson was widowed after only 13 years of marriage, emigrating to Perth, Australia, in the 1980s to be near her son.
On 7 September 2026, following the passing of 112-year-old Lorna Henstridge, she became the oldest living woman in Australia. She is currently the nation’s second-oldest resident, after Ken Weeks, 112.
