Hi Martin,
How about diffidence?  O.K. then, I think this has a slightly new
twist in the entry to the half reels.   Notice John Drewry has a
similar entry into the full reel in Harold's Choice.

 A Strathspey called
  A BOUQUET FOR MARGARET TATE
                                       S32-3c-4c

 1-4	1st, 2nd & 3rd couples Set.  All cross over giving Right Hands
		 to face in BUT remain just inside the set.
 5-8	All set & cross back RH, 3s to places BUT 1s & 2s remain in the
	 	centre side by side facing up & retaining RH.

 9-16   1s & 2s dance an Allemande

17-20   All dance RIGHT hands across, 1st M with 3s, 1st L with 2s &
	 	finish with all Mn facing up & Ls down.
21-24    All dance into 1/2 a Left shoulder reel of 3 on own sides,
		 to start:- 1st M dances up & in as 2nd M casts off.
                  1st L dances down & in as 3rd L casts up.

25-28	All dance LEFT hands across, again 1st M with 3s who are
		 now at the top and 1st L with 2s who are in third place,
 		finish with all Mn facing down & Ls up.
29-32	All dance into 1/2 a right shoulder reel of 3 on own sides,
		 to start:- 1st M dances down & in as 2nd M casts up.
                   1st L dances up & in as 3rd L casts off.

              Repeat with new 2s & 3s.

 Originally called 'THANKS TO MARGARET TATE' and devised
 for the West Wickham Scottish Country Dance Club and
 presented to Margaret Tate on the 10th May 1991 in thanks for
 the many happy hours spent dancing under her instruction and
 with all good wishes for her future enjoyment of the DANCE.
