A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter V
"Yes--I am fond of pictures." He got down from his chair, picked up the three engravings, came and stood beside her, leaning against her knees. He laid the pictures in her lap and asked which she liked the best. One engraving showed Joshua commanding the sun to stand still; one showed Elijah going to Heaven in his fiery chariot; and the other--she almost blushed as she looked at it--showed Susanna and the elders. Susanna wore no clothing and the elders were shocking old men.
