A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XXXIII
I was with Kazia and the Suslovskis at the exhibition. There are crowds before my picture at all times. They began to whisper the moment we entered; and this time they looked mostly, not at the picture, and not at me, but at Kazia. The women especially did not take their eyes from her. I saw that she was pleased with this fabulously; but I did not take it ill of her.
