Your chrononauts are well-acquainted with the Georgian era of British history. And they dabbled with the Victorian era when they travelled to Southumbria. In this dimension, the Victorian era is during the reign of Queen Victoria, from 1837 until her death in 1901.

The Victorians had a secret. They conveyed their feelings by the way they attached a stamp to a letter or postcard (as shown above). This "Language of Stamps" would communicate a message without writing a single word.

​For example, if the letter-sender wanted to tell the receiver that he loved her, he would angle the stamp crookedly while pasting it in a certain spot on the envelope. A kiss was thrown by angling the stamp in the opposite direction.
​
​Keys to crack these codes were numerous and with potentially different meanings to each angle, so using the same code key was vital to understanding. I didn't use the Language of Stamps in Ticking, but thought you might be interested in this little bit of love history.

This came to me recently:
