Dancers dance only when one would expect the characters to do so--Cinderella daydreaming with her broomstick, or the guests waltzing at the royal ball--and the content of the movement is a trite and anonymous classical pattern.

The prince sets them up in a London house designed for discreet visits. In quick succession, Victoria dies, the new King finds that...
...called black body with a temperature of only 3.5 Celsius degrees above absolute zero-or about what the temperature of the universe should be now, billions of years after the fireball. The Bell scientists' discovery virtually confirmed that the universe had begun with a bang and, as the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences put it, "has made it possible to obtain information about cosmic processes that took place a very long time ago, at the time of the creation of the universe...
