A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter III
I was dismissed. With a light heart I sped to the chapel. To see one's way clear through the intricacies of life; to be sure of one's next step, and of a few steps to follow,--at eleven, or at threescore and ten, this is beatitude. It was Saturday morning when we emerged from retreat, a clear, warm Saturday in June. Mass was over, and we filed down in measureless content to the refectory.
