How's this for a compliment?

Hercule Poirot is speaking, in The Mysterious Affair at Styles:

"No, no, you are on a wrong tack there. There is nothing weak-minded or degenerate about Miss Howard. She is an excellent specimen of well-balanced English beef and brawn. She is sanity itself."

Now, I'd like to think that I am "sanity itself." But if that comes at the price of being "beef and brawn"? Well, maybe not.
