It was such a garden as Charlotte had pictured in happy dreams and never expected to see in real life . And yet here it had been all the time , divided from her only by a high board fence . `` I would n't have s ` posed there could be such a lovely place so near an orphan asylum , '' mused Charlotte . `` It 's the very loveliest place I ever saw . Oh , I do wish I could go and walk in it . Well , I do declare ! If there is n't a lady in it , too ! '' Sure enough , there was a lady , helping an unruly young vine to run in the way it should go over a little arbour . Charlotte instantly named her the Tall Lady with the Black Eyes . She was not nearly so young or so pretty as the Lady with the Blue Eyes , but she looked very kind and jolly . I 'd like her for an aunt , reflected Charlotte . Not for a mother -- oh , no , not for a mother , but for an aunt . I know she 'd make a splendid aunt . And , oh , just look at her cat ! Charlotte looked at the cat with all her might and main . She loved cats , but cats were not allowed in an orphan asylum , although Charlotte sometimes wondered if there were no orphan kittens in the world which would be appropriate for such an institution . The Tall Lady 's cat was so big and furry , with a splendid tail and elegant stripes . A Very Handsome Cat , Charlotte called him mentally , seeing the capitals as plainly as if they had been printed out . Charlotte 's fingers tingled to stroke his glossy coat , but she folded them sternly together . `` You know you ca n't , '' she said to herself reproachfully , `` so what is the use of wanting to , Charlotte Turner ?
You ought to be thankful just XXXXX see the garden and the Very Handsome Cat . ''
