A man of few words, Ed McCarthy was Frank’s supervisor at Wyndham-Matson’s factory—until Frank was fired and Ed left to go into business with him. Ed is a skilled and precise craftsman, and he takes pride in the original jewelry pieces he and Frank produce. He is unable to sell them to Childan for anything but consignment, and it’s his idea to blackmail Wyndham-Matson, though he ultimately assigns the actual responsibility for doing so to Frank.

Be working, creating in my own way right up to the end, living as best I can, as actively as possible […] I’m too small, he thought, I can only read what’s written, glance up and then lower my head and plod along where I left off.

Laying his coat over a chair, Frank collected a handful of half-completed silver segments and carried them to the arbor. He screwed a wool buffing wheel onto the spindle, started up the motor; he dressed the wheel with bobbing compound, put on the mask to protect his eyes, and then seated on a stool began removing the fire scale from the segments, one by one.
