How small they are!
One of these, ma'am, is sufficient to carry a letter... Is sufficient to carry a letter to Brighton or to the Isle of Bute.
To Windsor or to Wolverhampton, to Coventry or to Carlisle.

VICTORIA: And my likeness will be on every letter?
- Yes, ma'am.
This is the royal mail, after all.
But how will the little pictures stay affixed?
- The stamps, ma'am, have a layer of gum arabic on the back.
So everybody who wants to send a letter will have to lick my face.
- Precisely, ma'am.
Though those of a more genteel nature may use a little brush.

I think this gentleman has produced a remarkable invention, so I find nothing to laugh at, only to admire.
