Game Gravy for Mutton

Pluck and draw a very high woodcock or snipe, cut it in pieces together with its entrails (with the bag taken out), put in a saucepan with sufficient plain and unseasoned meat gravy to a little more than cover, and simmer gently for several hours. then strain and serve. This gravy if used for mutton that has been kept for some time will give it a strong venison flavor.
