Yes! Sorry, it’s probably really simple, but I don’t usually order things from other countries.

With regard to the Mansfield Park stamp, I agree that the stamp could suggest several scenes in the book. I think the probable scene is that Fanny waits outside Sir Thomas’ study. This follows after Sir Thomas confronts Fanny about Henry Crawdord’s proposal of marriage. In the end, Fanny states, “If it were possible for me to do otherwise” said she, with another strong effort; “but I am so perfectly convinced that I could never make him happy, and that I should be miserable myself.”
Sir Thomas realizes that Fanny is serious.
“ There is no use in these tears; they can do no good. You mustnow come downstairs with me. Mr. Crawford has been kept waiting too long already. You must give him your own answer: we cannot expect him to be satisfied with less; and you only can explain to him the grounds of that misconception of your sentiments, which, unfortunately for himself, he certainly has imbibed. I am totally unequal to it.”

Several days later.
. . . . the butler reappeared ten minutes afterwards, and advancing decidedly towards herself, said, “Sir Thomas wishes to speak with you, ma’am, in his own room.”
Fanny, walking off in agitating consciousness, found herself, as she anticipated, in another minute alone with Mr. Crawford.

I have a friend in England purchasing mine and holding them until I arrive in mid-September. Crazy that I’m this excited about stamps!
