Joseph Keeble
Lady Constance Keeble's first husband, the doting stepfather of Phyllis is a short man with a round, grizzled head and a pink face. He made a large fortune in South African diamond mines, and was already fairly elderly and a widower by the time he married Connie, some two years before the events of Leave it to Psmith. Though their relationship is close and loving, Joe often regrets giving her the supervisory role over their mutual bank account, and worries that her valuable jewellery is vulnerable to thieves. He has a distinct dislike for the smell of heliotrope. Keeble does not appear in subsequent novels, and passes away some time before Service With a Smile.
