The toothpick-case and the seal. Written by Reeba (10/18/2006 12:45 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, John's poverty, penned by Barbara

How clever of JA to pick these two things to portray the characters of the two people buying them.

She didn't have to give us detailed descriptions about their characters and let the two things speak for themselves.

I do think that it must be a seal declaring them as the new owners of Norland.
