gentleman's. Vary, by a _reverse turn_; or by going in a straight line
round the room. Double, if you like, each part, by giving four bars to
the first part, and four bars to the second part. The _time_ may be
stated as precisely the same as in the polka; but let it not be
forgotten that _La Schottische_ ought to be danced _much slower_.
