You could well be right. As I noted, Frost then gave a picture for example,
saying he exposed @ 1/30s open at f/1.8 using 1600 film. For sure the meter
reading needs to be done off the subject, not averaged over the scene. A
handheld meter or the spot function on a 4T would take care of that.
Again, I don't do this work myself. Just passing along what I found in the
book.

1/4 sec at f/16? That doesn't sound right.
Kodak's recommendations say 1/15 sec at F/2 w/ASA 400 film.
Look here in their technical publication on existing light photography:

There's an existing light dial in the Kodak Pocket Photoguide, something
that I don't ever go on a photo shoot or trip without.
This site has the same data and another dial-based tool,
1/15, F/2, ASA 400, close-up, candle-lit portratits
