FURBELOWS & APRICOCKS (or, THE MAD FROLIC) A. Simons interpretation, Playford Vol 2, 4th Edn. (1728), NIB 3-couple longways, 6/8, Bb, 26-bar. A1: 1-8 M1 figure-8 through M2 and M3 while W1 figure-8 through 2s. (I think you let her have the right of way; he goes down the inside and lets her clear him before cutting between the two men.) A2: 1-8: W1 figure 8 between M2 and M3 while M1 goes between 2s. (Again, she has right of way, but that's not a big issue because the 1s cross down to start.) B: 1-2: 1s cross down to second place while 2s move up and cross behind them (both couples improper). 3-4: 1s lead down between 3s and cast up to middle (improper) 5-6: 1s and 2s circle half-way (proper) 7-10: 1s and 2s THREE changes circular hey and 1s cast to bottom. (Obviously, originally a triple minor where the threes did nothing, finishing with a convention four changes. Also, Simons doesn't mention hands, but this is going to be brisk, so no hands.)
