Boil medium sized lobsters. Let grow cold and remove meat. Put large
piece of butter and one and one-half tablespoons of flour into double
boiler. Stir until creamy. Add one pint of milk and cook about five
minutes. Add lobster cut in small pieces and cook about fifteen
minutes. Just before serving; add three tablespoons cream and one-half
tumbler sherry or brandy.
_Note_: Unless brandy or sherry can be added it is useless to attempt
this dish.
