A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter IX
Jacob needed no second permission. Ale, wine, and spirit-bottles were brought out--though but few were left that had not been emptied. However, empty or full, they fell in a few moments before the energetic blows of the delighted Jacob Poole. "You'll never repent it," he said to his master. But, alas! he did not know poor Frank, who did repent it--and bitterly, too.
