Joscelyn: Yes, he did! he said it was Eve's fault.
Martin: So it was.
Joscelyn: How dare you!
Martin: He said nothing but the truth. And what did you say?
Joscelyn: I said it was Adam's fault.
Martin: So it was. YOU said nothing but the truth.
Joscelyn: How could it be two people's fault?
Martin: How could it be anything else? Oh, Joscelyn! there are two things in this world that one person alone cannot bring to perfection. And one of them is a fault. It takes two people to make a perfect fault. Eve tempted Adam; and Adam was jolly glad to get tempted if he was half as sensible as he ought to have been. And Eve knew it. And Adam let her know it. And if after that she had not tempted him he would never have forgiven her. When it came to fault-making they understood each other perfectly. And between them they made the most perfect fault in the world.
Joscelyn: (after a very long pause): You said there were two things.
Martin: Two things?
