Whipped this one up looking for a double-chain dance to get beginners
accustomed to the figure*. Has it been written before? (If not, tentatively
titling this one "Chain of Fools".) (Uhh, unless there's another dance of
that name already... which I can't imagine there isn't... in which case
I'll come up with something else.)

becket L
A1: slice L

A2: ladies chain to P

(Or perhaps the same dance, starting at B1, with "long lines forward and

but I like to have options (and I like to have glossary dances that don't
start with "N b").
