B1 8 Left diagonals, L-hand turn once
Right diagonals, R-hand turn once ending :
1s & 3s in a line of 4 facing up, 1s in middle (3rd man
finishes his R-hand turn & moves straight out to the end
of line on the men’s side); 2s facing up, standing below
the line of 4
B2 8 Line of 4 & 2s both lead up a double & fall back
3s gate the 1s ¾ round into 2nd place while 2s turn 2-
hands
order is 3-1-2
Notes: A2 is confusing as written in that it separates all the pieces by couple.
Another view of A2: \\
1st 4 bars are egg-beaters for C1 and C3 at the bottom.(C1 cast while C3 lead, then C3 cast while C1 lead).
last 4 bars of A2: C1 don't stop, but keep going in lead to top and cast to 2nd place, while C2 (at top) cast to bottom, C3 follow C1 to top.

Mr. Lane belongs to that group of middle ranking dancing masters active in the
late 17th/ early 18th centuries who have left few traces.
