A Poster for Your Pleasure

Here's the poster I created for Miss Laurie (who writes the lovely blog, "Old fashioned Charm"), for her "Don't Keep Calm" contest. Whoever makes the best poster using a period drama quote and the words "don't keep calm" or  "I can't keep calm" wins. I thought you might be diverted by my entry. The quote is from Mansfield Park and the picture is from the scene in the 1983 BBC movie when Fanny has to listen to Edmund and Mary rehearse their scene for Lover's Vows. I can imagine Mary thinking she can't keep calm, what with her brother charming the engaged Miss Bertram and the fun of speaking romantic lines to the object of her own affections.
