Inspired by Abigail Golden, who noted that there weren't any dances with a ladles left-hand chain (the reality is that there are a few, but they're thin on the ground). This was my take on a dance with intuitive but unique flow into both chains for both roles, so neither chain feels more or less novel than the other.
