a treat announced perhaps once a fortnight, was an afternoon sailing. we would hire a lugger, the fisherman went with us. but once thoby was allowed to steer us home. "show them you can bring her in, my boy," father said, with his usual trust and pride in thoby. and thoby took the fisherman's place; and steered; flushed, and with his blue eyes very blue, and his mouth set, he sat there, bringing us round the point, into harbour, without letting the sail flag. one day the sea was full of pale jellyfish, like lamps, with streaming hair; but they stung you if you touched them. sometimes lines would be handed us; baited by gobbets cut from fish; and the line thrilled in one's fingers as the boat tossed and shot through the water; and then—how can i convey the excitement? —there was a little leaping tug; then another; up one hauled; up through the water at length came the white twisting fish; and slapped on the floor. there it lay flapping this way and that in an inch or two of water….

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.
