A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XV
SPRING IN BOND STREET The visit to London was part of an evolution of both body and mind to Rosalie Anstruthers. In one of the wonderful modern hotels a suite of rooms was engaged for them. The luxury which surrounded them was not of the order Rosalie had vaguely connected with hotels. Hotel-keepers had apparently learned many things during the years of her seclusion. Vanderpoels, at least, could so establish themselves as not to greatly feel the hotel atmosphere.
