Amen!'
'Our humblest service and thanks to the worthy Mr. Williams. Again we
say, God bless him for ever!
'O what a deal we have to say to you! God give us a happy meeting! We
understand the 'squire is setting out for London. He is a fine
gentleman, and has wit at will. I wish he was as good. But I hope he
will now reform.'
O what inexpressible comfort, my dear father, has your letter given me!--
You ask, What can you do for me?--What is it you cannot do for your
child!--You can give her the advice she has so much wanted, and still
wants, and will always want: You can confirm her in the paths of virtue,
into which you first initiated her; and you can pray for her, with hearts
so sincere and pure, that are not to be met with in palaces!--Oh! how I
long to throw myself at your feet, and receive from your own lips the
blessings of such good parents! But, alas! how are my prospects again
overclouded, to what they were when I closed my last parcel!--More
trials, more dangers, I fear, must your poor Pamela be engaged in: But
through the Divine goodness, and your prayers, I hope, at last, to get
well out of all my difficulties; and the rather, as they are not the
effect of my own vanity or presumption!
But I will proceed with my hopeless story.
