Drawn-Butter Sauce

Put in a saucepan a couple of ounces of butter, adding two tablespoonfuls of flour while stirring; pour in a pint of water, adding a little salt and pepper. Simmer at the side of the stove for half an hour until it thickens, then add gradually half an ounce of butter, beating until it becomes white, and squeeze in the juice of a lemon. Stir well, strain through a hair-sieve, and serve.
