Drewry’s Note:
Devised for Robert Baird.
Robert, for a time, taught Scottish Country Dancing at a Catholic boys school. Girls from a neighbouring school were brought in as partners. At an end-of-term party, the monks, who taught at the school, joined in the dancing too. One of them danced on to a slippery part of the floor and went all his length. His habit flew up over his head giving a “non-divine revelation” to all present. Happily he was a good sport and, picking himself up, continued to dance.
