A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XXIX
Ida found the party, on whose companionship she had in a measure forced herself, waiting and calling for her. The words of the old gentleman had inspired them with kinder and more considerate feeling. "I'm coming," she answered; "don't wait for me, I'll keep near you." As they had already observed her evident wish to be left to herself, they complied with her request. The icy calm of her despair was now broken.
