A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter III
At last, after some haggling, more in order to conceal my anxiety to obtain it than anything else, I said, with affected reluctance-- "I haven't the money with me. It's a pretty thing, but a trifle too dear." And I turned as though to leave. "Well, now, ninetheen pound won't hurt yer. You shall 'ave it for ninetheen pound."
