The metaphor is that sound as a bell means that she wants a kid who is calm and easy
The simile is that sound could mean noise or it could mean sound asleep and calm

Number 3

I think that artistic temperament in this case means that Karl scowled just before so he might be referring to that artists think that if one thing is wrong the piece is ruined and that artists are up tight and then he says have a beer, it might mean that he wants Karl to loosen up.
The author thinks that an artists temperament is point less

The artistic temperament! What nonsense! There's no such thing. Only amateurs have temperaments. Real artists get on with the job and don't fuss about it. If you hear any one talking about the artistic temperament, you can be sure they don't know what they're talking about.
