[Generally we have everyone two-hand turn partner at the end, instead of just the middle couple.
Personally I think the first figure should be a half-hey, putting everyone improper for the two-hand turn partner once rather than Cecil Sharp’s version with the middle couple getting home late and doing just a half-turn to catch up.]Page transcribed by Hugh Stewart
