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".
