I believe you're improper during the progression (the pull by right to
next neighbors in the beginnig of B1), so the petronella left puts you
back in becket for the start of the dance, no? This is the only thing
that's changed from last night so it's quite possible I've broken it,
but I'm going through it in my head and I think it's equivalent to the
circle right 3 that used to be there (or at least, I can't figure out
how you'd be in becket at the end unless I've mis-typed something
earlier in the dance that I'm not seeing).
