How do people try to console Derry ?

People tried to console Derry by saying that it was not what he looked like but what was inside him that mattered. Handsome is as handsome does, that Beauty loved the monstrous beast for himself and when she kissed him, he changed into a handsome prince. But Derry was aware of the fact that he wouldn't magically transform into a handsome prince due to his disfigured face in lieu of these consolatory words.
