Sweet Sauce

Put one teacupful of cream into a saucepan and boil it. Mix one teaspoonful of flour with one wineglassful of sherry, stir it into the boiling cream, add a small quality of grated nutmeg, and sweeten to taste with sugar. Let the sauce simmer by the side of the fire for fifteen minutes, stirring constantly, and then serve.
