"A human flower untouched by the finger of care."
"The morning caller, noonday crawler, midnight brawler."
"The magic spell by which the gods transform a house into a home."
"A bursting bud on the tree of life."
"A bold asserter of the rights of free speech."
"A tiny, useless mortal, but without which the world would soon be at a standstill."
"A native of all countries who speaks the language of none."
"A mite of a thing that requires a mighty lot of attention."
"A daylight charmer and a midnight alarmer."
"A wee little specimen of humanity, whose winsome smile makes a good man think of the angels."
