In the opening pages of Chapter 7, Joey explains that he was put under the charge of Trooper Warren, a lower-ranking soldier in Captain Stewart's regiment. This young man is not a skilled horseman and was not eager to enlist, but he treats Joey with kindness and consideration that, along with Topthorn's friendship, rank among Joey's greatest comforts. Trooper Warren reads Joey letters from home and talks about his difficult father and his intended wife back in England. These letters lend a sense of intimacy between Joey and Warren which Joey appreciates.
