A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter V
We got home with our fish just as Plunk and Binney were getting ready to eat. They had cooked dinner and waited for us until they couldn’t stand it any longer. Mark and I were perfectly ready to begin, too. After lunch we made a live-box to keep our fish in. It wasn’t a first-class live-box, but it was enough to keep the fish from getting away.
