Dinner. — Brill. — Boil the brill according to the directions already
given in January 9th. If liked, Neapolitan Sauce can be served

this sauce, put into a small enamelled saucepan four shalots finely
minced, a dessert-spoonful of bruised capers, five or six peppercorns,
and the juice of a lemon. Stir these ingredients over the fire for
three or four minutes, then add a cupful of stock made from bones,
a pinch of cayenne, a small clove, half a bay-leaf, a small piece of
mace, not quite half a blade. Simmer gently for twenty minutes,
and pour out till cool. When it is wanted dissolve a piece of butter
about the size of an egg in a separate stewpan. Mix with it over
the fire a dessert-spoonfu] of flour, and work the paste with the back
of a wooden spoon till quite smooth ; add the cooled liquor, and
stir the sauce till it boils. Strain it, put it again into the saucepan,
and let it boil, lift it from the fire, put in the shrimps, and stir in
the cream. Add a few drops of anchovy essence, and, if liked, a few
drops of lemon-juice✪ Neapolitan Sauce, and serve immediately. Boiled Fowl, with
