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."

Rest in peace Ms Gardiner.
She is the 42nd oldest person in New Zealand history.
