For Anthony Payne on his 50th birthday.
Editor’s note [Eric Ferguson]. For 1st couple, the transition on bar 24 is awkward. The dance would flow better if on [21–24] the second diagonal half reel of 4 had started with 1st couple facing 4th corner. I wonder if this is a mistake in the instructions, which clearly say 2nd corner.
