  2. Strawboys

    Share Share Post
    At about eight oclock the strawboys come. They all dress in white. The captain knocks at the door, and he is let in with welcome. The sergeant numbers the strawboys. The bride and the captain and the bridegroom and the captain's wife dance the first half-set. Then all the other strawboys dance on their turn and when they have all danced they go home.
