There is nothing more regal or romantic than a wax sealed letter. Jane Austen tried countless times to come up with the literary equivalent, and despite coming close even she couldn't quite match it. They say wax seals are as old as writing itself, apparently they were used by the Pharaohs to keep correspondence top secret.
Perhaps if Austen had melted a burgundy wax stick over a piece of paper before embossing it with a traditional cursive or Times, then her love would have been requited, thus sparing many a high school student's valuable time.
