A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XIV
And why should not Baroness Landsknechtsschild take observations with a telescope, as well as her neighbor at the Nameless Castle? She could very easily do so unnoticed. From the outside of a house, when it is light, one cannot see what is going on in a dark room. This question Count Vavel was given an opportunity to decide. The astronomical calendar had announced a total eclipse of the moon on a certain night in July.
