Mr. Longman
Miss Goodwin is Mr. B’s daughter with Sally Godfrey who currently attends boarding school. Before boarding school, Lady Davers raised her, changing her last name from “Godfrey” to “Goodwin” to avoid scandal (since Mr. B and Sally weren’t married when Miss Goodwin was born). Pamela takes an immediate liking to Miss Goodwin and wants to adopt her. While it’s unclear if Pamela ever carries out the adoption, Pamela’s acceptance of Miss Goodwin provides further evidence of her generous spirit.
