A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter VIII
Lucky it is that no one outside the Hortobagy knows about this "poor man's peat" which is gathered on the meadow-land. One thing is certain--it is no lily-of-the-valley. It is the sole fuel of the puszta herdsman, in fact, a sort of zoological peat. We remember the tale of the Hungarian landowner who, finding it advisable to go abroad after the Revolution, chose free Switzerland as a temporary place of residence. But his eyes never grew used to the high mountains.
