Publisher’s note:
This dance was presented at Asilomar Weekend, 1981. The Gouldens, who met dancing twenty plus years ago, postponed their departure for France so that they might attend the Asilomar conference one last time. Thanks to Eugene Bissell for writing up the dance and contributing it to this collection. The editor altered the wording from “woman” to “lady” for consistency within the collection only.
