Concerning "whether the 'Squire was not modest," _Pamela's Conduct in
High Life_ explains that Mr. B "shews he had some Humanity, and was
touch'd with Remorse at the Distress he himself occasioned. This, no
doubt the Censurer, who seems as much divested of Humanity as a Stranger
to Virtue or even Decency, blames the 'Squire for in his Heart, thinks
him a silly Country Booby, a half-paced Sinner, a Milk-sop to be capable
of Compassion, and no doubt would gladly have had him gone thorough,
that he might have had the Pleasure of imaginary Pimping, and have
_surfeited his Sight_" (I, xv-(xvi)).
31.6-32.19
Concerning this passage, _Pamela's Conduct in High Life_ sums up its
argument by saying: "But this unfair Censurer fearing he has not yet
warm'd the Imagination of his Readers, lays Pamela in a Posture, and
particularizes her latent charms, _p._ 31, and then charges his own
luxurious Fancy on the Author, as he calls the Editor" (I, [xvi]).
33.1-20
Quotation from Letter XVIII.
33.25-34.13
Quotation from Letter XIX. Concerning this passage, _Pamela's Conduct in
High Life_ exclaims: "Pamela talks very rationally to Mrs. _Jervis_,
foresees Consequences, and concludes, _she that can't keep her Virtue
ought to live in Disgrace_. At this our Censurer cries out, _Fine
Instructions truly!_" With this, _Pamela's Conduct in High Life_ makes
its parting stab at _Pamela Censured_: "But it is impossible with
Decency to follow this luscious Censurer, really I had scarce Patience
to read, and therefore you will not expect me to rake longer in his
Dirt. I have written enough to shew you of what Stamp are all the
Calumniators of the virtuous _Pamela_. How sensual and coarse their
Ideas, how inhumane their Sentiments, how immoral their Principles, how
vile their Endeavours, how unfair their Quotations, how lewd and weak
their Remarks" (I. [xvi]).
