Question

It does good to no woman to be flattered by her superior, who cannot possibly intend to marry her; and it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it; and, if discovered and responded to, must lead, _ignis-fatus_-like, into miry wilds whence there is no extrication.

Accepted Answer

Una mujer no debe dejarse galantear por su jefe, que no puede soñar en casarse con ella, y es una locura, por otra parte, que las mujeres experimenten un amor para conservarlo oculto, porque ello agotaría su vida.
