A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XVIII
Of myself, during this period, there is not much to say. For six months I was kept in prison, though charged with no crime. I was a _suspect_—a word of fear that all revolutionists were soon to come to know. But our own nascent secret service was beginning to work. By the end of my second month in prison, one of the jailers made himself known as a revolutionist in touch with the organization.
