Mr. Beveridge's Maggot

That is the odd name of the music you hear on both of these videos. Apparently it is an old English word for a fancy or whimsical idea. Mr. Beveridge was a dance master of the early 19th century during the English Regency period. Here's Janine and John dancing to it. (Please pardon the dark video.)

Now you may ask why would a group of 21st century homeschoolers put on an English Country dance set in the Regency? Jane Austen of course. As her novels are filmed and refilmed, one production has stayed on top, the 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. You may just recognize the actor playing Mr. Darcy. (He doesn't stammer this time around.)
