Thus- that the 3 little girls disliked the soft waltzing nature of the dance. When the dancing-master was called away... they added 2 men's Highland steps. These Mrs McNab instructed us to use after the 1st Chorus. Miss Milligan and I both felt that the Highland steps spoiled the dance and as the story could not be authenticated we decided to leave them out'.
