(Check out the line perforations on this sheet, how often do
you see line perforations intersect perfectly?)

Lady Gowrie served as president of the Australian Red Cross
and was the wife of the then Governor of New South Wales
Lord Gowrie.

Actually he was Governor-General of Australia.

.... and here is an ironic twist for Rodney.

"Gowrie (Scottish Gaelic: Gobharaidh) is a region and
ancient province of Scotland, covering most of the eastern
part of what became Perthshire. The province is the home
of such ancient Scottish royal sites as Scone and perhaps
Forteviot.

Its chief settlement is the town of Perth. Today it is most
often associated with the Carse of Gowrie, the part of
Gowrie south of the Sidlaw Hills running east of Perth
to Dundee.
