“Thirty guineas isn’t nearly enough to purchase a horse as fine as your Joey, I know that, but it’s all I’ve got. Will you lease him to me Albert, to be my own mount? I promise you, man to man, that I’ll look after him, as closely as you’ve done. I’ll respect him and all the care that you’ve taken with him, and if I can, I’ll return him to your care.”

Capt. Nicholls to Albert Narracott (War Horse)
