A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XIX
He was very quiet when I entered the room, but his eyes bright with fever, were rolling restlessly around as if watching something. His face was red and his head hot when I put my hand upon it and asked how he felt. He manifested no surprise at seeing me, but made no direct reply to my question except to say: “I wish it would go away; it troubles me! Can’t you drive it out?
