A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XI
It's no place for an honest grafter with a small capital. There's too big a protective tariff on bunco. Even when Giovanni sells a quart of warm worms and chestnut hulls he has to hand out a pint to an insectivorous cop. And the hotel man charges double for everything in the bill that he sends by the patrol wagon to the altar where the duke is about to marry the heiress. But old Badville-near-Coney is the ideal burg for a refined piece of piracy if you can pay the bunco duty.
