9-12 2M followed by 1M+Ladies dance down for 4 bars, Men pull back RSh to face up, Ladies continue to face down
13-16 Ladies dance down, pulling back RSh to join hands with 2M and dance up following 1M. Men stay in middle, 1M facing down, 2M facing up, 1L on Men's side, 2L on Ladies' side (diamond formation)
17-24 1s+2s set in diamond formation, all join hands and circle 4H round to left; turn partners 2H and open out to circle 4H round to left ending in diamond formation again

Note: Bars 19-20 and 23-24 seem to suggest 2 circles 4H all way round (2 bars) - perhaps should be interpreted as 2 circles ½ round
