We await her reply with bated breath!

I have determined that a copy SHOULD be available in the New York (City) Public Library, where my New York daughter used to work (Who knows, there may even be an uncatalogued copy in the Morgan Library where she works now). So I have asked her to find me the words.... This will definitely take more than a couple of hours, but.... I see by googling the title that there is a dance (form? or tune?) of the same title. Oh yes, I see you say it's the name of a country dance, but still, tune or form/pattern of dance? And can someone speak to the differences btw Highland Dancing and the Orcadian Strathspeys and Reels and the origins of both ? Anne (Yes, a copy of this 1948 book is over $60 in Amazon)
