All I can say is - walk it through, or dance it. You'll find that in 
the B2 the lady must draw the gent back to her side of the set for the 
swing. I have called it several times, including a No-Circle Becket 
session at NEFFA. The Fabulous Couple is a useful dance for callers who 
like to assemble a varied program of dances, without too many shared 
elements repeated from dance to dance, since it is constructed without 
any circles, chains, or gents allemandes. Most importantly, it's a very 
enjoyable dance.  ... Bob
