A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XL
It was not until luncheon time that Zara came down, next day. She felt he did not wish to see her, and she lay there in her pretty, old, quaint room, and thought of many things, and the wreck of their lives, above all. And she thought of Mirko and her mother, and the tears came to her eyes. But that grief was past, in its bitterness; she knew it was much better so. The thought of Tristram's going tore her very soul, and swallowed up all other grief.
