Fire

I've been reading Jane Austen lately.
This is a charade or word-puzzle from one of her works: "my whole" is the word to be guessed; "my first" is its first syllable, and "my second" its second syllable. ~*~ My first doth affliction denote Which my second is destin'd to feel. And my whole is the best antidote That affliction to soften and heal.

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 . . .
