Rh First: First Position, with the strings between the hands crossed; the left near string passing over the right near string (Fig. 791).

Second: Opening A, taking up the left palmar string first. Third: Turn each thumb away from you down into the loop on the index finger, and, holding securely in the bend of the thumb the far thumb string and the

near index string (Fig. 792), turn the hands with the fingers pointing downward (Fig. 793), and drop from the hands all the strings except those held by the thumbs.

Fourth: Turn the hands with the fingers pointing upward (Fig. 794). Separate the hands (Fig. 795).
