Several variations are mentioned in the notes. Here is my current favorite incarnation, in which the women progress around the set and the men stay near their home positions. This is what I called at NEFFA in April 2010.
 A1 Ones [facing clockwise] lead through twos and cast back to place
Ones two-hand turn
 A2 Twos lead through ones and cast back to place
Twos two-hand turn
 B1 Partners change by right hand; neighbors half turn by left
Neighbors right shoulders round.
 B2 Women draw poussette neighbor halfway around set
Partners slow set & honor; women turn back on partner and cast behind neighbor to progressed place.
 B3 Full poussette with next partner (women advancing to start).
