Bettina von Hutten


Curious as a magpie.	1
Fitted as does a key in a well-oiled lock.	2
Friendly as a puppy.	3
A sense of humor is to a lonely citizen of the world what is to a shipwrecked sailor on a desert the knife with which he hews the logs to make his hut, and cuts the fruit by which he lives.	4
Indigestible as cold plum pudding.	5
Waddled to her with the graceless speed of a seal on land.	6
Yellow as Nature, abetted by time.	7
