# James Sprague — Blind Mice character guide

> James Sprague in Blind Mice by C. Kay Scott.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Jim Sprague, Sprague, Jimmie

**First appearance:** 0002-i

## Snapshot

John's tall, fastidious partner, whose immaculate cuffs and low voice conceal a careful watchfulness beneath the easy friendship.

## Who they are

Jim Sprague sits beside John on the crowded suburban train, quietly correcting estimates while John quotes headlines and offers his seat to pretty strangers. He is the steady half of the firm — practical, reserved, slow to smile — and the Winters treat him as family, down to Dimmie's cry of 'Uncle Jim.' His restraint and his place at Rosedene's table make him both trusted insider and quiet observer.
