Floating Island (One-half package gelatine one)

One-half package gelatine, one pint of water; soak twenty minutes; add two cups of sugar; set on the stove and let it come to a boil; when nearly cold add the whites of four eggs beaten stiff, the juice and rind of two lemons and pour into a mould; turn over the form. Make a custard of the yolks of four eggs, a quart of milk and a small tablespoon of corn starch; sweeten to taste.
