Bagstock

Joey, a friend of Mr. Dombey's in Dickens' novel, Dombey and Son. He is described as "a single gentleman, to-wit, a wooden featured, blue faced Major, with his eyes starting out of his head." He is proud of his friendship with Mr. Dombey, who uses Bagstock to further his own ends. He is constantly referring to himself as "Joe B.," "J. B.," "old Joey," "old Josh Bagstock," and so forth. He is apoplectic and gluttonous, and entirely selfish. "Old Joe is hardhearted, sir," he says of himself, "he's tough, sir, tough and de-vilish sly!"
