A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XIII
'Oh, _you_ told her. Well, that doesn't help us much. If what you are swearing isn't true--remember, you are on your oath--what you told Miss Petherick or Petheridge or Pennyfarthing, "at the time," can hardly be regarded as corroborative evidence. Your word then and your word now are just equally valuable--or equally worthless. The only person who knows besides yourself is Higginson.
