A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter VI
The Return to Literature. On our way home we fell across a casual copy of the _Globe_ newspaper, and picked up a scrap of information about the Blorenge, a mountain we had climbed three days before. It is (said the _Globe_) the only thing in the world that rhymes with orange. From this we inferred that the Laureate had not been elected during our wanderings, and that the Anglo-Saxon was still taking an interest in poetry. It was so.
