Turtle Soup. 217 claret-glassful of madeira, which can now be obtained really good at forty shillings a dozen from any re- spectable wine-merchant. If, however, it is not thought necessary to have madeira bought on purpose — and it is a somewhat rare wine in the present day — a similar quantity of good golden sherry will do. The soup is now done, and only requires a few drops of lemon-juice
