A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XXXVIII
When Carrie got back on the stage, she found that over night her dressing-room had been changed. “You are to use this room, Miss Madenda,” said one of the stage lackeys. No longer any need of climbing several flights of steps to a small coop shared with another. Instead, a comparatively large and commodious chamber with conveniences not enjoyed by the small fry overhead. She breathed deeply and with delight.
