Note in the Whetherly Book 24: From Thompson’s Compleat Collection Vol. 4. Originally the first couple danced down the mlddle and back to second place. On the last eight bars the first couple danced a right hand allemande (i.e. they made a complete turn after which the lady turned under their raised right arms) followed by a left hand allemande. The instructions have been adapted to modern technique
