2 1/2 ozs. butter
1/2 cupful each of meat (preferably chicken) and fish stock
1 tablespoon flour
salt and pepper
green colouring

"Place half the butter in a small saucepan and allow to melt but not to brown; blend in flour, and very slowly add meat and fish stock, stirring all the time until thick. Lower heat and add the remainder of the butter, a very little knob at a time, and when all used up and the sauce is thick remove from the fire, stir in the green colouring and serve."
