FOUR LEAF CLOVER
f)   As they promenade, each couple swings in to the cenĀ­ter, pivoting around the gentleman, and promenades in the reverse direction. (Without this reversal it is confusing to get all four couples in the right order in the next step.)
g)   They all join hands again and this time include the fourth couple (between the first gentleman and the third lady.) The first lady then steps to the center while the seven circle round her. The first gentleman steps in and trades places with her again. He steps out between the two adjacent ladies again giving his left hand to the one not his partner. And they all finish with an allemande left, and right and left grand (see page j.o^) .
