Celery Sauce for Game

Select a large bunch of celery, wash it thoroughly, cut it fine and boil slowly in a little water until it is tender, then add one pinch each of grated nutmeg, pepper, salt, and powdered mace, thickening it with one tablespoonful of butter rolled in flour. Boil it up and pour it in the dish. If desired, half a pint of cream and one wineglassful of white wine may be added to advantage.
