FISH (au Gratin)

Remove all bones and skin from six ounces of cold fish, and divide it into small pieces. Make a quarter of a pint of white sauce, stir the fish into the hot sauce, and let it heat gently for ten minutes, then turn it into a fireproof dish which has been well buttered. Mix one ounce of grated cheese with one ounce of fresh bread-crumbs, sprinkle them over the fish, dot half an ounce of butter in small pieces on top, season with pepper and salt, and bake in a fireproof dish in a gentle oven until the top is lightly browned. Serve in the dish it is cooked in, placed on a folded napkin.
