ASIAN ANTIQUES: while with his regiment in Poland, a Polish landowner of small means had forced him to marry his daughter. Anatole had very soon abandoned his wife and, for a payment which he agreed to send to his father-in-law, had arranged to be free to pass himself off as a bachelor. Anatole was always content with his position, with himself, and with others. He was instinctively and thoroughly convinced that was impossible for him to live otherwise than as asian antiques did and that he had never in his life done anything asian antiques He was incapable of considering how his actions mightASIAN ANTIQUES: affect others or what the consequences of this or that action of his might be.
