We attended another excellent lecture by John Bailey on Broadway Musicals, this time extracting the social messages from The Music Man and West Side Story. Malcolm was interested to see the barber shop quartet sing "Goodnight Ladies" in The Music Man. John concluded by singing a version of "You're the Top" adapted by Irving Berlin and too rude to be broadcast at the time.
At noon the captain announced that the search had been unsuccessful and we would be several hours late in Halifax. The weather was still wet, windy and foggy. The purser allowed us a free phone call to our Limousine Company to advise them of our late arrival.
In the afternoon we went to an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice by RADA in the Royal Court, then a talk on the legal possibility of treating terrorists as pirates and trying them in American courts as such. Interesting idea.
We had our last dinner in Britannia Restaurant with Mervyn and Glenys from Rugby and Nan and Elaine from New Jersey, served by Jerry and Arnold. Then we went to a breathtaking song and dance show by the ship's entertainers called "Apassionata".
In between we watched segments of Les Miserables on our TV as it was played several times today. We will be staying at the Halliburton Hotel in Halifax tomorrow night then moving to the Lord Nelson as scheduled for Tuesday night.
The ship passed just north of the Titanic resting place overnight.
