Ambrose Whitmore

The Horn That Says It For Him
Ambrose Whitmore
First cornet in a working Chicago dance band, the best natural player on the stand and the least convinced of it; everything he means comes out of the horn instead of his mouth.
A slim, quietly elegant young man in his early twenties with deep warm-brown skin, close-cut hair kept flat with pomade, and dark eyes that do the talking his mouth will not. Shirtsleeves rolled past the elbow show the long forearms and broad, capable hands of a working horn player; an adult man's frame, upright even at three in the morning.
- Shows affection by
- acts of devotion
- In conflict
- goes quiet
- Habits
- turns the mouthpiece between two fingers while he decides; answers a question with two soft notes instead of words; pushes back the one curl that comes loose in the heat
