Mr. Beveridge's Maggot (BBC's Pride and Prejudice)

Correction, I missed a detail-

1st couple, *cross set* cast off, back to back, face up, join hands- at same time:

Probably some others too.

Lizzie & Darcy start as first couple at top of set.

All right hand quite round
All left hand quite round
1st couple cross set full circle
(2nd couple standing)
1st couple, cast off, back to back, face up, join hands- at same time:
2nd couple, face up, advance two, cast off, join hands with first couple, all advance one, retreat one.
1st couple casts off to 2nd place, 2nd couple turns in, faces up, advances to first place.

Quite simple, really :)

My friends kind of stare at me weirdly for saying this, but I finished reading Pride and Prejudice for my high school free reading project...and god, Darcy was just totally awesome. Note to self: Twilight's Edward and Jacob are nothing to the awesomeness of Darcy.

Hi Claire1909, did you think that Darcy was superb even in the book? His letter to Elizabeth was very well written but I would say Colin Firth makes the character really charismatic. I'm rereading the book now after several years. Perhaps Darcy in the book will be more impressing due to his role in Lydia's elopement.

to keirababe:
actually, this was pre-victorian era. I think King James was ruling at this time. *Then* came Victoria.

I went to a regency dance this weekend, and did several dances with figures like this (without the barbed conversation, happily). It is great fun- google country dance to find an event near you!

wow that's so exciting! and you learned how to do this one?

No, this wasn't among the dances we did that evening, but it's pretty straightforward, certainly simpler than some dances. Let me see if I can write down the choreography, rank beginner that I am...

MerC for the info.
