My mail client isn't showing the fraction in A1 that shows how far the
men turn.
Thinking it through, I guess it's either
1.25 (gents are closest to partner with their backs to partner, so
have to turn around)
or
1.75 (gents are closest to neighbor but facing partner; gents start
the do-si-do by
passing right shoulder (or pulling by with the hand they've
got) with each other, then finish the do-si-do back to back in
the line)
Colin, what didf you have in mind?

Written at 5 to 7 one Thursday evening, while planning "Beginners" - I needed a
dance with a diagonal reel of four. The whole
dance came to me in a flash - so Andrew Coates gave me the title. There's even a jig
called "Thursday Night".
