Fricassee Sauce

Stir gradually the yolks of three well-beaten eggs into a basin with one-half pint of white sauce, put them into a jar and stand it in a saucepan of boiling water, and stir it until the sauce thickens. Just prior to serving, add the strained juice of half a lemon, after removing the jar from the boiling water.
