The son pointed out that it was a serious matter because he would have to neglect this business , and the old man said that he would pay them , saying , " You knows I always pays . " Counsel said that was so , although sometimes it was a long time before he did pay . Frederick and his wife then car- ried on the farm , though the father got bet ter and was able to work . But in November , 1915 , he became ill again , and was not able to do any further work . About this time another son of the old man , William , who lived not far away , came to the farm and took an in- terest in his father's affairs . Mrs. Frederick Perkins broke down by being overworked , and she and her husband got a woman to look after the old man , and they went to live at their home in Bromyard again . The plaintiff Fred- erick continued to look after the farm .
