All
the power that is put into my hands, by the most generous of men, shall
be exerted to make every thing easy and agreeable to you: And as I shall
soon have the honour of attending my beloved to Bedfordshire, it will be
a very considerable addition to my delight, and to my unspeakable
obligations to the best of men, to see my dear Mrs. Jervis, and to be
received by her with that pleasure, which I promise myself from her
affection. For I am, my dear good friend, and always will be,
'Yours, very affectionately, and gratefully,
PAMELA ----.'
He read this letter, and said, 'Tis yours, my dear, and must be good: But
don't you put your name to it? Sir, said I, your goodness has given me a
right to a very honourable one but as this is the first occasion of the
kind, except that to my dear father and mother, I think I ought to shew
it you unsigned, that I may not seem over-forward to take advantage of
the honour you have done me.
However sweetly humble and requisite, said he, this may appear to my dear
Pamela's niceness, it befits me to tell you, that I am every moment more
and more pleased with the right you have to my name: and, my dear life,
added he, I have only to wish I may be half as worthy as you are of the
happy knot so lately knit.
