Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.

Bettina von Hutten

Curious as a magpie.

Fitted as does a key in a well-oiled lock.

Friendly as a puppy.

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.

Indigestible as cold plum pudding.

Waddled to her with the graceless speed of a seal on land.

Yellow as Nature, abetted by time.
