The Punch-Bowl.

Format: Longways duple.

<code>
A1: Ones cross moving down through the twos 
    (twos move slightly up and in), down
     outside the next twos, meet and lead 
     up through them (12 steps). With original twos
     circle half-way; ones cast, twos lead up.
A2: Twos the same. [All now improper]
B:  First corner positions (first lady, second man) 
    cross; second corners cross (3 steps
    each); circle left half-way. Ones meet, then cast, 
    twos lead up; all two-hand turn
    half-way finishing close to partner and then fall back.
