In a stainless steel or enameled saucepan cook 1 small onion, minced, in 3 tablespoons unsalted butter over moderate heat, stirring, until it is soft, add 1 cup dry white wine, and reduce it over high heat to about 1/2 cup. Add 1 cup tinned beef broth and reduce the liquid to about 1 cup. Whisk in bits of beurre manié, made by kneading together 1 tablespoon each of flour and softened unsalted butter, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until it is thickened slightly. Stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard, or to taste, remove the pan from the heat, and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve set over a saucepan, pressing hard on the solids. Makes about 1 cup.

As Alice discovered in Through the Looking Glass, things are not always what they seem. And certainly April first is a good day for testing this aphorism.
