This was followed by a lively tune, Vauxhall Dance, with a lusty call from the fiddler: “Circle eight!”
Whereupon all joined hands, circled to the left and to place.
| Head couple out to the right and circle four, With all your might Around that couple take a peek! |
At this Dan Spotswood peeked at smiling Nellie, almost forgetting to follow the next figure in his excitement.
|
Back to the center and swing when you meet,
Around that couple peek once more. Back to the center and swing all four, Circle four and cross right o’er. |
The dance was moving toward the end.
“Balance all. Allemande left and promenade,” the fiddler’s voice raised louder.
There was repetition of calls and figures and a final booming from the indefatigable caller: “Meet your partners and promenade home.”
Then the fiddler struck up Cackling Hen and a Breakdown so that the nimblest of the dancers might show out alone and so the frolic and dance ended.
