i 've found that boys seem to like me , though , and that has been a constant surprise to me , since i consider myself quite plain and even a little bit worked over-i 've got a scar under my left eyebrow , which makes the hair of it come in white , and i 've got sort of a welt on my neck from when the pirate lefievre strung me up that time-usually you ca n't see it , but if i get excited , it flares up red .
