The definition of a woman? A sphinx without a secret.
In the case of very fascinating women, sex is a challenge, not a defence.
She certainly has a wonderful faculty of remembering people's names and forgetting their faces.
You should never try to understand them. Women are pictures. Men are problems. If you want to know what a woman really means - which, by the way, is always a dangerous thing to do - look at her, don't listen to her.
