It would be easier for all concerned, obviously, if Dale just sent
those quoted two copies of the book now, with a note thanking them for
their participation.

They wouldn't, because I have scrupulously followed the accepted rules of
fair use just as you have pretty much outlined in the first paragraph. If it
does turn out that I have somehow inadvertently infringed someone's
copyright, what would he or she "win" after his or her legal battle? None of
the material I quoted has any commercial value on its own. Do you go to
court for a symbolic award of $25?
