A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter V
But here she interrupted herself to utter a muffled exclamation, not coherent. Instantly she added some words suitable to religious observances, but in a voice of passion. At the same time, with a fine gesture, she hurled the jar and the basket from her, and both came in contact with the wall, not far away, with a sound of breakage. "Why, what----" Julia began. "Kitty Silver, are you crazy?"
