Rh manner, bend the left middle finger and pass it from above through the left ring-like index loop. Then with the right thumb and index pull the left near index string to the right, and pick up from below on the back of the left middle finger the left far thumb string; return the middle finger to its position and drop the string held by the right thumb and index (Fig. 450).

Fourth: Release the loops from the little fingers, the index fingers and the thumbs. Arrange each middle finger loop on the hand in the "First Position" (Fig. 451). The second person must not release the loops he has been holding.

Fifth: From Opening A (Fig. 452).

Sixth: Pass both middle fingers from below into the loops held by the second person, and bending them toward you pick up from below on their backs the near thumb string (Fig. 453); then, by straightening the middle fingers, draw this string away from you and down through the loops held by the second person.

Seventh: The second person now releases the loops he has been holding (Fig. 454)
