Mad Ade's Heteronyms#2

For example :
"Please excuse me while I think of an excuse."
The word EXCUSE is used in one sentence, but has two very different meanings and pronunciations.
Can you work out the heteronyms for these two sentences?
1, The stamp was so ------ that it took Mad Ade a ------ or so to locate it amongst the other stamps.
2, "I ------ the fact that the letter was lost", said Mad Ade "but I have ------ it".
