Variant on ladies chain figure and an unexpected entrance to Poussette. Devised on 30 October 1998, to be danced to the music for Deil Amang the Tailors. The Devil in the title is, of course, the one who has finished with the Tailors and is now in Berne, Switzerland, visiting the city's chief tourist attraction.
