Nonsense, nonsense, you are full of merit! Speak well, not only your muscle, but your generosity. I do appreciate the assistance. [Everett gives him a stern handshake and a pat on the back for it, a show of respect really. Rich's willingness to volunteer his time and effort should be well marked, celebrated with praise.

Everett's a very encouraging sort, especially when those around him are so kind]

I hope they will make good us of the support. We should do everything we can to lift them up, they've been held down far too much of this life. They deserve the helping hand.
