Clip off the stems, wash well, tie in neat bunches, and when it has
lain in cold water an hour or so, put into a saucepan of boiling water,
slightly salted. Boil fifteen minutes, drain well, clip the threads,
and return to the saucepan, with a little rich gravy if you have it.
If not, pour in three or four tablespoonfuls of butter drawn in milk,
pepper and salt, and simmer eight or ten minutes.
