Was not that Provoking

 
Longways Country Dance, as a three-couple set (originally a triple minor)
24 Country Dances for the Year 1782, by Thomas Skillern
 
 
 
Introduction and Honours (4 bars)
8 barsFirst lady set to second man, RH turn third man, and get back home
8 barsFirst man set to second lady, then LH turn third lady, and get back home
8 barsFirst couple cross and cast into second place and RH turn 1.5 times
4 barsFirst couple lead through the top couple and cast off
4 barslead down through the third couple and into their place while third couple cast up
16 barsSlow circle left quite round and back again
Repeat whole dance from progressed position
I have choreographed this as a 3-couple dance. In the original triple minor the whole 4th 8-bar strain is taken up by leading up through the 1s and casting into second place.
