His master, a young, high-spirited gentleman, was very fond of him, and treated him from the first with the greatest care and kindness. This gave him a high station in his own esteem, and thus contributed indirectly to his better behaviour; for he was scrupulous as well as high-spirited, and prided himself on nothing more than on a just submission.
