In Anna Sewell's novel Black Beauty, the narrator's master is a good and kind man. Which sentence in this excerpt reflects this trait
through indirect characterization?
Our master was a good, kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging, and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little
children. We were all fond of him, and my mother loved him very much. When she saw him at the gate she would neigh with joy, and
trot up to him. He would pat and stroke her and say, "Well, old Pet and how is your little Darkie?" I was a dull black, so he called me
Darkie; then he would give me a piece of bread, which was very good, and sometimes he brought a carrot for my mother. All the
horses would come to him, but I think we were his favorites. My mother always took him to the town on a market day in a light gig.
