When the jelly is perfectly set, put a mould, holding lqt., in the centre of the large one, and fill the space between with jelly. Fill the small mould with ice, and set both in a basin of ice-and-water. When the jelly is again hard, take the ice out of the smaller mould, fill it with warm water, and lift it out carefully. Fill the cavity left by the small mould with a Lemon sponge and let it stand till hard. Turn the pudding on to a fancy dish, pour a Lemon- flavoured custard round it, and serve.
