[r-t] Stedman Caters touch - 1.5 courses

[Daniel Brady]

My suggestion, again not fitting the original request (too long and not one
of the stated course ends), would be:

231456789
231498765 1 s3 4 6 s8 9 10 11 12 13 (14)
134265798 1 s5 6 7 10 11 s13 (14)
round with a bob at 1

173, inc Queens, 3x *98765, *56789, opening titums, and closing inverted
titums.
