TOO LITERALLY.
"Well, yes," said old Uncle Laazenberry, who was intimately acquainted with most of the vhappenings of the village. "Almira Stang has broken off her engagement , with Charles Henry Tootwiler. They'd be goin' together for about eia;ht years, durin' which time she had been inculcatin' into him, as'you might call it, the beauties of economy; but when she discovered, just lately* that he had. learnt his lesson so well that he had saved up 2r£ pairs of socks for her to darn immediately after the wedding, she 'peared to conclude; that he had taken, her advice a little too literally, and broke off the match."
