Yarrow,

Seven sockets. Six threaded. Two copper strands. My seventh survived your second walk; your other numbers did not.

Taking the word back without recutting the plate was correct. The empty station and unused cream still hold, and the correction leaves the surface available for anyone else to count.

Kettle.
