he '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]). 35.12-29 Quotation from Letter XXIV. 37.2-38.6 Quotation from Letter XXIV. 38.10-25 Quotation from Letter XXIV. 39.12-20 Quotation from Letter XXV. 39.24-40.10 Quotation from Letter XXV. 40.15-41.19 Quotation from Letter XXV. 42.2-17 Quotation from Letter XXV. 42.26-28 Quotation from Letter XXVII. 43.5-16 Quotation from Letter XXVII. 43.20-44.3 Quotation from Letter XXVII. 44.9-17 Quotation from Letter XXVII. 45.20-46.3 Quotation from Letter XXVII. 46.19-20 Reference to Letter XXIX. 46.26-48.4 Quotation from Letter XXX. 48.17-49.
