Harold treated the boys kind of bad. He was verbally abusive, racist and very disrespectful. Harold's relationship with the boys was master and slave, as well as, teacher and student (Harold and Sam taught eachother).Although, Harold would turn to Sam for help, at the end of the day Harold was Sam's boss. For example, (bottom page 636) one night when Harold's father was drunk,the bar called the house and Harold received the call to come and get him. Harold was under age and needed an adult's help, so he woke up Sam and begged him to go.
In my opinion, Master Harold's relationship to the boys was fair for a master/slave relationship, but unfair for a friendly relationship.
