Quote #4
Well, Sir, said I, that is your Comment; but it does not appear so in the Text. (70.13)
Here, Pamela is schooling Mr. B on his reading comprehension. He's just read Pamela's correspondence with Mr. Williams and come away with the puzzling interpretation that they're love letters (even though Pamela never reciprocated Mr. Williams's feelings or intentions with respect to marriage). Like a frustrated professor, Pamela refers him back to the text.
Quote #5
He was very serious at my Reflections, on what God enabled me to escape. And when he came to my Reasonings, about throwing myself into the Water, he said, Walk gentle before; and seem'd so mov'd, that he turn'd away his Face from me; and I bless'd this good Sign, and began not so much to repent at his seeing this mournful Part of my Story. (71.18)
Check out this key moment in Mr. B's transition from zero to hero: Pamela didn't want to show him her stories at first, but now she realizes that her story is really bumming him out, in a good way. He's doing what all good readers do and empathizing with her struggles.
Quote #6
And then, Sir, you know, I love Reading, and Scribbling; and tho' all the latter will be employ'd in the Family Accounts, between the Servants and me, and me and your good Self; yet Reading is a Pleasure to me, that I shall be unwilling to give up, at proper times, for the best Company in the World, except yours. And, O Sir! That will help to polish my Mind, and make me worthier of your Company and conversation . . . (75.26)
If Pamela were reading this Buzzfeed list, she'd be hitting "share" so fast she might strain her clicking finger. Here, she asserts her preference for reading over hanging out with basically anyone--except Mr. B, of course.
