A     All step right and honour partner; turn single left.  
      Step left and honour partner; cross R with partner.
B     Right-hand star.  First lady and second man leading, 
      others following same-sex neighbour, 
      loop left and move across the set so that the leaders 
      have changed places and the followers have gone in a 
      loop and got nowhere, all finishing with left shoulder 
      to partner.
C     With right-hand neighbour (semi-permanent shadow) gipsy right.  
      With partner gipsy left 1 1/4 until first man and second lady 
      are facing each other.
D     They (the new leaders) pass right shoulder into a straight hey 
      across the set: each person does two changes and then loops right — 
      the leaders will want to loop left but they mustn't.  Circle left 3/4

From Colin:

The final move confuses people — particularly when they change numbers. Once people “get” the move it flows perfectly well. Make sure that when you make the circle the two men are together and the two ladies are together. Gene Murrow's suggested wording is,

“The first corner people meet for what feels like 3 changes of a hey across the dance, with a twist. Those people do only two changes — pass right, next person left, then, instead of looping left as you would want, you loop right into a circle. The others carry on normally, joining the circle…”
