A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XVI
AS we emerged from the Hotel Meurice I turned instinctively to the left. Paragot drew me to the right. "Henceforward," said he, "I resume the Paris which is my birthright. We will forget for a moment that there are such places as the Boulevard Saint-Michel and the Rue des Saladiers." We walked along the Rue de Rivoli and taking the Rue Royale passed the Madeleine and arrived at the Cafe de la Paix.
