Half a Ladleful of soup is quite enough to serve.

A half-Ladleful is quite enough, unless it is a country dinner, where a full Ladleful may be given without offence; but do not fill the soup-plate.

About three quarters after eleven, have your slice dried bread ready in a dish, and pour a Ladleful of the broth upon it.
