Share a line, being sensible (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rational

'sensible' is the definition.
('rational' is associated in meaning with 'sensible')

'share a line' is the wordplay.
'share' becomes 'ration' (ration is a kind of share).
'line' becomes 'l'.
'ration'+'a'+'l'='RATIONAL'

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for rational that I've seen before include "Endowed with reason" , "Based on logic or reasoning" , "Thinking logically" , "Logical, reasoned" , "In accordance with logic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
