Stewed Terrapin

Cut terrapin meat in dice, cover with cold water, and cook slowly one half hour. Mix the yolk of one hard-cooked egg with one teaspoon butter, add one fourth cup cream, season with salt, nutmeg, paprika; add terrapin meat, cook five minutes; add one tablespoon sherry, and serve on toast.

This amount is right for one terrapin.
