there is an unplaceable foreignness about Gordon's incongruous facial features;
Gordon's assistant is white-skinned, hairless, heavily accented, expressionless and of indeterminate age;
the letters and numbers on a meter are unrecognizable and do not belong to 1954 A.D.;
looking back, maybe Everard was already starting to realize the truth.
At the end of his interview, Everard is told that his job will be to patrol time whereas Storm tells Lockridge only to follow written instructions that he will receive and that they will meet again in Denmark. He will not be told the truth until Chapter Four.

Kaor, Paul!
I remember wondering how likely it would be that the NUMBERS used by human beings would become unrecognizable. My thought was that, after the invention and spread of Indian numbers, they would be so satisfactory that different "shapes" for numbers would not be necessary.
