A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter VII
Padre, you were right. My greatest comfort, as of old, is in turning to you. I think you had a glimpse of the future when you left me that last message: "Write to me, in the old way, just as if I were alive and had gone on a long journey." When I lock my door, and get out this journal, it seems as if a second door--a door in the wall--opened, to show you smiling the good smile which made your face different from any other. I don't deserve the smile.
