Chocolate Sauce

Put one ounce of chocolate in a lined saucepan with half a pint of milk, and a few drops of essence of vanilla; sweeten to taste and stir over the fire until boiling. Beat the yolks of four eggs, stir with the boiling sauce at the side of the fire until the eggs are thickened, but do not let it boil again.
