"Does not inclination play a part?"
"It is resultant of the other two."

"Oh, yes!" she said.—"For instance, you are more earnest to-night than you used to be—though, in truth, sir, I never before knew you to take the two necessary ingredients in one dose."
"The girl and the moonlight, you mean?"
She nodded, smiling naïvely.
"That is because they were never offered me——"
"Offered you!" she exclaimed. "Do you expect them to be offered?"
"Again I have expressed myself poorly!" he laughed. "What I mean is, I never had the moonlight, and the inclination, and you all together."
