what does miserly mean? like this.

"About the year 1727, just at the time that earthquakes were prevalent in New England, and shook many tall sinners down upon their knees, there lived near this place a meagre, miserly fellow, of the name of Tom Walker. He had a wife as miserly as himself; they were so miserly that they even conspired to cheat each other. Whatever the woman could lay hands on she hid away; a hen could not cackle but she was on the alert to secure the new-laid egg. Her husband was continually prying about to detect her secret hoards, and many and fierce were the conflicts that took place about what ought to have been common property. They lived in a forlorn-looking house that stood alone and had an air of starvation. A few straggling savin-trees, emblems of sterility, grew near it; no smoke ever curled from its chimney; no traveller stopped at its door. A miserable horse, whose ribs were as articulate as the bars of a gridiron, stalked about a field, where a thin carpet of moss, scarcely covering the ragged beds of pudding-stone, tantalized and balked his hunger; and sometimes he would lean his head over the fence, look piteously at the passer-by, and seem to petition deliverance from this land of famine."

I did laugh.

Miserly is a person whose outward appearance is one of insufficient means.

When Rambo first walked down the highway after finding out that his friend had died in the opening scene of First Blood, he appeared miserly.

The policeman (Brian Dennehy) tries to move him on because he considered him a miserly vagrant.

In Australian in the 1920's and 1930's, it was a crime to appear on the street in a miserly state. The only people allowed on the street after dark were those with gainful employment.

If found, you could be charged simply because you were miserly and ordered to leave back from whence you came.

From 7th April 1931:

Or that excessively holds on to his money.
