"They're [five little beautiful human dolls withi big brown eyes and long lashes, little j rosebud mouths, pink cheeks, dimpled handstand sturdy bodies. They're the healthiest, happiest, and best-behaved babies I've seen. You look at them and you just want to make one big armful of them and squeeze them close." But which.

I love Annette—she's the most miscnievous. I love Emilie—she's the most famous."
