Then add one pint of sauce Allemande and boil for five minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with a little chopped parsley and chives.

=Sauce Allemande.= Put four ounces of butter and three spoonfuls of flour in a casserole and place on the stove. When hot add one quart of chicken or veal broth, and boil for twenty minutes, then bind with the yolks of three eggs mixed with one-half cup of thick cream. Strain and season well with salt and a little Cayenne pepper.

Put in casserole with one-half glass of white wine and one cup of water, bring to the boiling point, then add six chopped shallots, and boil until the mussels are open. Remove the mussels to another vessel, strain the broth, and reduce. Then add one pint of sauce marinière, and pour over the mussels. The mussels may be served with the entire shells attached; on the half shell, or removed from the shells altogether, after they have been boiled.
