Sir,--JOWETT, though not an Etonian himself, was greatly
interested in anecdotes of Jobey related to him by Etonian
undergraduates in the "sixties," and on one occasion, when he
was the guest of the Headmaster, he was introduced to the famous
factotum, who instructed him in the art of blowing up footballs,
and presented him with a blood orange, which JOWETT religiously
preserved for many years in a glass-case in his study. In
features they were curiously alike, but Jobey's nose was larger
and far redder than that of the Master's. I have given a fuller
account of the interview in my _Balliol Memories_, Vol. iii.,
pp. 292-5, but may content myself with saying here that the two
eminent men parted with mutual respect.
