Original text:
"1st Lady set to 2nd gent: & turn, 1st Gent: do the same, down the mid: up
again, Allemande & swing corners.


A1: 1-4: W1 sets to M2 moving forward (yes, four bars; there is "no harm" 
         in M2 responding) and
    5-8: they two-hand turn once round

A2: 1-8: M1 to W2, the same.

B1: 1-7: 1s lo-o-ng lead down the center
      8: and turn to face up

B2: 1-4: 1s lead up to 2nd place (2s moving up)
    5-8: and Allemande (could be a back-to-back; Shaw says "gypsy facing out",
         could be an aerial allemande, could be an arming allemande).

C1&2: 1-8: "Swing corners": It's contra-corners, right to partner, left to
         first corners, right to partner, left to second corners.

[In triple minor, all the threes do is engage in swing corners.  In duple,
swing corners goes outside the minor set and everybody has to stay awake.]

In 1809 England's largest expedition up to that time landed on the island of
Walcheren and captured Flushing - but most men died of fever, so they didn't go
after Antwerp, the real goal of the expedition.
