Crab Sauce

Put three cupfuls of milk into a saucepan, add two ounces of butter rolled in flour; it should be stirred in one direction only. Cut up the meat from a crab and mix with a little mace, cayenne and salt; stir in the boiled milk and let it simmer for three minutes, but do not let it boil.
