Souffle of Lobster

(Nice.) Blend 1 ounce of butter with 2 ounces of flour; add 1 gill of milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and 1/2 pound of cooked and chopped lobster, then the yolks of 3 eggs, 6 oysters, chopped fine, a gill of cream, whipped stiff, and the beaten whites of 3 eggs. Pour into a buttered mould, steam like a custard for 1/2 an hour, turn out carefully and cover with a white sauce, containing mushrooms.
