The Apted editors, possibly in order to make the dance more interesting and 
put to use a prettier tune which had a tedious dance they did not wish to use, 
switched tunes to the longer 'The Dusky Night' and added a turn single in A1 
to fill out tune. 

For the tune 'The Dusky Night' which Thompson originally linked with it, use:
<code>
   A1 Cast off two Cu. and up again
   A2 Cross over two Cu. up again and cast off
   B1 hands 4 to left quite round at bottom and back to right
   B2 right and left at top
