Make the omelet according to directions preceding and pour over it when done and in the dish the oysters cut in pieces in a brown sauce as follows.
Put a large 1/2 cup of oysters into a frying-pan with their liquor, and salt and pepper and keep them in motion by shaking over the fire until they are soft-cooked. Take up with a skimmer and cut them in pieces.
Stir a heaping teaspoon of sifted flour and twice the measure of butter together in a very small saucepan over the fire until light brown, add 1/2 cup milk and the cooked oyster liquor, if any, and when it has boiled up put in the cut oysters. Add the juice of a quarter of lemon.
