We played it with a second ending, but I’m not sure if that quite catches it. I’d love to see if anyone else has another take on this Quebecois quadrille… This would also make a lovely waltz…

I know have a sneaking suspicion I’ve also come across this tune in an old dance tome, possibly even Ford’s or Howe’s, which means another name for it… I’ll have to go searching…

‘I now’ ~ not ‘know’ ~ it’s late…
