Wrap them in paper, and store in a dry, cool place till wanted. Sausages, Sauce for.— Lift the sausages from the x^an, and put them upon a sieve before a fire to drain. Pour away all the fat except- ing about a table-spoonful, and if the fat in which the sausages were fried is at all burnt, dissolve a httle fresh butter or fat in a clean saucepan. Stir into this as much flour as will make a smooth paste, rub it briskly over the fire until it is brightly browned, moisten gradually with boiling water or boiling stock till it is as thick as cream, add a table-spoonful of mushroom ketchup or walnut pickle, and if necessary a s^joonful of browning.
