The opening leans on near-verbatim borrowing from Wells's actual next chapter ("Then came the night of the first falling star. It was seen early in the morning, rushing over Winchester eastward, a line of flame high in the atmosphere"), so the chapter's strongest lines are partly transcription rather than invention.
Small uncorrected slips of fact and phrasing — the McTodd lunch shunted to 'to-morrow' when the established timeline puts it that very day, the garbled 'nephew of his uncle's fish business', and the anachronistic Capistrano allusion — blemish an otherwise convincing pastiche.
The library scene depends on the contrivance of Betteredge happening to overhear my lady's one crucial speech while pouring two cups of tea — a seam he has to lampshade directly (\"in the way of my duty, and not in the way of a listener\") to get the required beat witnessed.
Robert's remark about Edna is uncharacteristically literary for the teasing clerk of the source — it reads as the narrator's metaphor put in his mouth, a slip the chapter half-admits by twice having Adèle say he \"talked like a book.\"
