Excerpt from David Harum: A Story of American Life In personal appearance Mr. Westcott was tall, slen der, and graceful; and his handsome, intellectual face would light up in greeting a friend with a smile that was extremely attractive and magnetic. It was un doubtedly in music that he found his greatest pleasure for though in business hours he always subordinated the artistic side of his nature to the requirements of the moment, yet these duties being ended for the day, he let the other talents appear. He was endowed with a fine barytone voice, and having received most excellent professional training, he became a conspicuous figure in the musical circles of central New York. His knowl edge of music as well as his acquaintance with bank ing have benefited the readers of David Harum for in describing the trials of a church choir director, and the methods of a country bank, the author has clearly drawn upon his memory for his facts. He possessed also a considerable talent for musical composition, and several songs, of which he wrote not only the words and air, but the harmony as well, have been published, and sung by those who may never know the author's name.
