Cullis n. A strong broth of meat, strained and made clear for invalids; also, a savory jelly. (Obs.) "When I am exellent at caudles And cullises... you shall be welcome to me."
... I, 'what has happened? This morning there was hectic gaiety afoot; and now it seems more like one of them ruined cities of Tyre and Siphon where the lone lizard crawls on the walls of the main port-cullis.' ... — The Gentle Grafter • O. Henry
