+From: https://colinhume.com/instr.htm#JackPudding
+Format: 3 Couples longways.  Interpretation: Colin Hume, 1998.
+Music: 3 x Own tune (two B's in each figure)
+<code>
+First Figure:
+A:	Ones and twos up a double and back twice (dropping hands as necessary)
+        while threes lead up 8 steps, change hands and lead back.
+B1:	Threes lead up to the top and cast around the ones.  Arch on the sides
+        with neighbour (ones and twos take nearer hands with neighbour and make
+        arches), threes cross straight over, going under both arches, cast to
+        the bottom improper and wait!
+B2:	Ones and twos circle left.  Threes two-hand turn 1½ to place.
+Second Figure:
+A:	Side right shoulder to right.  Side left.
+B1:	Men circle left, open out and raise your joined hands to make arches.
+        All cross right shoulder with partner, ladies going under the arches,
+        and turn to the right; immediately two-hand turn partner half-way to place.
+B2:	Ladies circle left.  All cross right shoulder with partner, men going
+        under the arches; two-hand turn partner half-way to place.
+Third Figure:
+A1:	Arm right.  Arm left.
+B1:	Tops (ones) face down and make a single-hand arch while threes lead up
+        under the arch and wheel round to the right.  Threes continue wheeling
+        to face the two ladies (who turn to their right to face them), then
+        these four circle left about a quarter, threes continue wheeling
+        clockwise to finish in the middle of the set facing down, first lady
+        keep going to the bottom, second lady finish in top place — and the
+        second man needs to move down to bottom place ready to make an arch.
+B2:	Bottoms (second man and first lady) face up and arch while threes lead
+        down under the arch and wheel round to the right.  Threes face the two
+        men, then these four circle left about a quarter, threes continue wheeling
+        clockwise to finish in the middle of the set facing up, finishing back
+        in a longways set in the order 2, 3, 1.
+Repeat the whole dance twice more, so that each couple in turn lead the three figures.
