A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XXXVI
In the evening I am at the Suslovskis; Kazia and I are in the niche in which there is a small sofa. Pani Suslovski is sitting at a table lighted by a lamp, and is sewing on something for Kazia's trousseau. Pan Suslovski sits at a table reading, with dignity, the evening number of "The Kite." Somehow I am not myself; I wish to dissipate that feeling by pushing up very near Kazia. In the salon silence is supreme; it is interrupted only by Kazia's whisper.
