Curried Rice

Mix smoothly one dessertspoonful of curry-paste with one tablespoonful of rich brown gravy; place it in a saucepan with one breakfast cupful more of the gravy and boil; then add to it one pound of well-washed rice, and simmer it gently at the side of the fire for thirty minutes, or until the rice is done. Turn it out onto a dish, squeeze over the juice of half a lemon, and serve.
