He knows me

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - C.S. Lewis

Eustace to Edmund, recounting how he became "un-dragoned": "The Lion said - but I don't know if it spoke - 'You will have to let me undress you.' I was afraid of his claws, I can tell you, but I was pretty nearly desperate now. So I just lay flat down on my back to let him do it.
The very first tear he made was so deep that I thought it had gone right into my heart. And when he began pulling the skin off, it hurt worse than anything I've ever felt. The only thing that made me able to bear it was just the pleasure of feeling the stuff peel off..." (p. 115-116)

Eustace: "But who is Aslan? Do you know him?"
Edmund: "Well - he knows me." (p. 117)

"It would be nice, and fairly nearly true, to say that 'from that time forth Eustace was a different boy.' To be strictly accurate, he began to be a different boy. He had relapses. There were still many days when he could be very tiresome. But most of those I shall not notice. The cure had begun." (p. 119-120)
