"Peter [Lord Peter Wimsey], I am glad to say takes after his mother and me. True, he is all nerves and nose - but that is better than being all brawn and no brains like his father and brother, or a bundle of emotions, like Gerald's boy, Saint-George."
I liked that expression: "All nerves and nose." Being British, that probably would have been true of Lord Peter.
(from Unnatural Death, by Dorothy Sayers)
