He wouldn't give a flying crapwad if a child was out of wedlock.

I certainly don't want to tell you how to play Magnetron but I'd ask you to consider that during that time period, how one is perceived and accepted in society is a BIG deal. Many books were written about etiquette and social graces as more people were moving up to middle class status due to the Industrial Age.

Even if Magnetron didn't care, maybe Henrietta would or the other heroes might. I can imagine Mentiac being upset if there was a child out of wedlock and wanting to discuss 'a story' to tell others, afterall Mentiac is described being a socialite-he would be concerned and stress to Magnetron 'how it would look to others'.
(Just offering some feedback.)

Did any of these books address the propriety of robbing graves or reanimating disembodied heads for space flight?

That part makes sense. Except I don't see Mentiac being all that concerned either. He is a well-respected scientist, but not necessarily respectable. I think of him as a nineteenth century Richard Feynman. But now Mrs. MacKenzie I am sure would find it scandalous.
