"I suppose all old soldiers are the same," said Mrs. White.
"The idea of our listening to such nonsense! How could
wishes be granted in these days? And if they could, how
could two hundred pounds hurt you, father?"
"Might drop on his head from the sky," said the frivolous
Herbert.
"Morris said the things happened so naturally," said his
father, "that you might if you so wished attribute it to
coincidence."
"Well, don't break into the money before I come back,"
said Herbert as he rose from the table. "I'm afraid it'll
turn you into a mean, avaricious man, and we shall have
to disown you."

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
