Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded Volume 1 Letter 22

The Samuel Richardson Library · Sep 4, 2026 · 39m

In which a tender reunion unfolds as the long-absent father of our heroine arrives at Sir Simon’s house, anxious yet hopeful to behold his daughter and assured of her virtue by her master’s kind assurances. The company kindly embraces the honest old man, and amid gentle festivities and heartfelt exchanges, plans are thoughtfully laid for forthcoming nuptials and the restoration of a humble chapel as a fitting sanctuary for their solemnisation.
