Biography:
Along with his wife Louvinia, Joby is the head of the family of slaves who have served the Sartorises for many years. Here he only makes a brief and unimpressive appearance at the end of the story. When Bayard describes his return along with Ringo to the cabin at Sartoris he lives in now, he notes "Joby in the chimney corner where Louvinia had made him get up out of Granny's chair" (116).
