Annie Tucker Wallingford was a wonderful, fine woman, but she was frugal. She bought syrup in a barrel with a spigot. One day Annie had a new barrel. When she opened the spigot, the syrup was sugared and wouldn't come out. She left the spigot on, and the syrup broke loose and drained out. She was so upset, we thought we'd have to bury her.
