          variation] easing out to face CW with middles out further

          W1 continues CW, with partner following, into 2nd place improper
          WHILE 
          2s meet, move up, out to sideline facing,  and turn 1/4 to face down

     5-8:  Chase continues CCW, same person in lead 
           into 3d place proper 
           on arrival continue to face CCW 
           WHILE 3s do what the 2s did.

B2:  1-8:  1s continue up to start expansive LEFT SHOULDER
           parallel straight heys (2 waltz steps per pass), 
           first pass with 3s.


NOTE:

Caller: Set tempo by the A part, which is a scramble if it's too fast and 
dies if it's too slow.  Correct tempo for A gives you lots of time in B;
dancers should 'fill the music with movement' and go wide outside the set
on the chase so their steps can be comfortably sized; this will be big.
(keeping the chase small and in the set lines, in Scottish style, means
unsatisfactory mincing steps)
