by his daughters.
His daughters did not let him go out of the house except on
Tuesday. He visited his friends on Tuesday. One Tuesday Woodifield visited his
ex-boss the visit to Belgium where the Woodsfield’s son and the son of the boss
had been buried.
Six years ago the son of the boss and Woodsfield’s son were
