Vinaigrette Sauce

Chop together very fine one shallot, two branches of parsley, and the same of chives and chervil; when all are well chopped, place them in a sauce-bowl, with one tablespoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of pepper, and three tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Stir all well together, then add four tablespoonfuls of good oil, mix well again, and serve. This is also called French dressing.
