As he works, he meets Patrick McSpalten, an amiable Irishman who is astonished by the invention and expresses a desire to learn about its workings. This initial interaction establishes Reade's character as both inventive and friendly. The chapter hints at upcoming travels and alliances, particularly with Frank's cousin, Barney Shea, whose adventurous spirit complements Frank's inventions.
