A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XIII
"Well, I will agree to that." In fact, I agreed with everything she had said, though I confess to a pang of jealousy at such unstinted praise, as just as I thought it. And I began in my selfishness to wish I were more like either of her two models. As we stood in the waning light--for we were almost standing, we moved so slowly--my resolution took form. It was not a propitious place for what I suddenly resolved to do.
