Quote 4

[Captain Nicholls] was always light on me. And there was always some warm word of encouragement or gratitude after a long ride. (6.7)

Nicholls doesn't see Joey as property or a tool, but as a friend. Even though he has to use him to ride, Nicholls still thanks Joey for his service. Some captains don't even do that to their men.

"[Nicholls] died leading that charge and you finished it for him. He'd have been proud of you." (6.14)

After the death of his friend, Captain Stewart praises Joey because he thinks that's what Nicholls would have done had he survived.
