`` I like cats , '' explained Jims , `` and I have nothing but a gobbler . This is such a Very Handsome Cat . What is his name , please ? '' `` Black Prince . He loves me , '' said the lady . `` He always comes to my bed in the morning and wakes me by patting my face with his paw . He does n't mind my being ugly . '' She spoke with a bitterness Jims could n't understand . `` But you are not ugly , '' he said . `` Oh , I am ugly -- I am ugly , '' she cried . `` Just look at me -- right at me . Does n't it hurt you to look at me ? '' Jims looked at her gravely and dispassionately . `` No , it does n't , '' he said . `` Not a bit , '' he added , after some further exploration of his consciousness . Suddenly the lady laughed beautifully . A faint rosy flush came into her unscarred cheek . `` James , I believe you mean it . '' `` Of course I mean it . And , if you do n't mind , please call me Jims .
Nobody calls me XXXXX but Aunt Augusta .
