Hardly more than five feet four inches but carried himself with great dignity. His head was exactly the shape of an egg, and he always perched it a little on one side. His moustache was very stiff and military, upward-curled under a pink-tipped nose. The neatness of his attire was almost incredible. In the later books, his limp is not mentioned, suggesting it may have been a temporary wartime injury. Green eyes that are repeatedly described as shining "like a cat's" when he is struck by a clever idea, and dark hair, which he dyes later in life. In Curtain, he admits to Hastings that he wears a wig and a false moustache. However, in many of his screen incarnations, he is bald or balding.
