GRAVY FOR HARE (another way)

When no stock is in the house, procure half a pound of gravy beef, cut it into small pieces, and put it into a saucepan with three-quarters of a pint of water, two sprigs of parsley, one small sprig of marjoram, and the same of thyme, a large onion with one clove stuck into it, half a dozen peppercorns, and a piece of bread toasted on both sides. Simmer gently for one hour, then strain, thicken the gravy with a dessert-spoonful of flour, let it boil once more for half an hour, add a table-spoonful of soy, and half a tumblerful of port or claret, and serve as before. Probable cost, 8d., exclusive of the wine. Sufficient for a pint of gravy.
