Pamela: Virtue Rewarded

Description

as my lady's goodness had put me to write and cast accounts, and made me a little expert at my needle, and otherwise qualified above my degree, it was not every family that could have found a place that your poor Pamela was fit for: but God, whose graciousness to us we have so often experienced at a pinch, put it into my good lady's heart, on her death-bed, just an hour before she expired, to recommend to my young master all her servants, one by one; and when it came to my turn to be recommended, (for I was sobbing and crying at her pillow) she could only say, My dear son -and so broke off a little; and then recovering-Remember my poor Pamela-And these were some of her last words O how my eyes run-Don't wonder to see the paper so blotted.
