Good grief! I've killed this thread!

Right, then - the answer to the Jane Austen riddle:

My first doth affliction denote ----- Woe

Which my second is destin'd to feel. ----- man


And my whole is the best antidote
That affliction to soften and heal.

Answer ----- Woe + man = Woman


Yes, horridly sexist, perhaps . . . but anyway it's solved.


Someone else please carry on . . .
