and if criminally inclined will be a very dangerous character.

3. If a lady naturally inclines to high-necked dresses and collars, she
will keep her secrets to herself if she has any. In courtship or love she
is an uncertainty, as she will not reveal sentiments of her heart. The
secretive girl, however, usually makes a good housekeeper and rarely gets
mixed into neighborhood difficulties. As a wife she will not be the most
affectionate, nor will she trouble her husband with many of her trials or
difficulties.
