"Killick stood swaying in the doorway ... he burst in with 'Which Mrs. Webber says would the old gentleman like a little thin gruel? A caudle?'"
--Patrick O'Brian, Blue at the Mizzen, 23
A warm drink consisting of thin gruel, mixed with wine or ale, sweetened and spiced, given chiefly to sick people, especially women in childbed; also to their visitors.
