    Being written in 1897, leaves me in doubt that the author was knowledgeable of quantum entanglement theorized some twenty odd years later. Who knows. I have a bit of admiration for Wells vocabulary and concentration of description within one sentence. Thank you for uploading the video.

    For foreign listeners, Richmond is, even now, on the SW outskirts of London, & the trip would have been on the District Line. And St Martin's Church is St Martin in the Field

    I was hoping that whatever was going on with the egg would make his family disappear so the old man could have peace of mind .

      I agree. They're a shower guaranteed to put a quiet mild mannered and unassuming character into an early grave.
      As they are devoid of empathy
      probably only their own tactics turned on them would be likely to have any effect.
      It's a shame that sometimes it seems only lowering to the level of your enemy is the only way to achieve your goals.
      After all they are human beings sort of.
      Life's a bitch at times.

    Wells and Verne wrote as well and as imaginatively as the mid-century greats from the era od Analog and Amazing etc.

    This story reminds me of my childhood, reading it some afternoon in my grandparents house full of books, and i always wondering about aliens and old science fiction tales (asimov, brown...). What beautiful times.

    That was an interesting story. H.G. Wells was always interested in space and all things not of Earth.
    Thank you for sharing it.

    Does anyone know why most of the shorter H G Wells stories are not available in paperback in the UK?

    Before the Men In Black there were Men In Gray. Tastes in clothing change over time.
