[Callers] A Dance Called Gypsy Cap or Camp?

We've never noticed trouble with the Down the Hall, just with the contra
corners when some in the group have not done contra corners the regular way
before. But perhaps instead of

Down the hall four in line (ones between the twos)

it should read

Down the hall four in line (ones between their original twos)

The progression happens later, at the very end of the dance ("twos cast the
ones down to progressed place")

Does this help?
