Mr. Tench description

English man who is a dentist, Tench had abandoned his family and we find out in the book that he is writing his family for the first time in 15 years. Tench

Description

"he wasn't carrion yet." (pg. 7)
"A faint feeling of rebellion stirred in Mr. Tench's heart."
"splintering finger-nails"
"two gold bicuspid teeth"

"Mr Tench cleared his mouth of phlegm. 'What did I say?' He couldn't remember a thing.
'You said my God a pretty one'". Now what could I have meant by that" (Pg.9)

"No, no. Just an expression. I don't believe in anything like that." (pg. 10)
but that is how one lived, putting off everything.
The man was satisfied: he might forget.
That was the whole world to Mr. Tench: the heat and forgetting, the putting off till tomorrow

Mr. Tench
"A faint feeling of rebellion stirred in Mr Tench's heart, and he wrenched up a piece of the road with splintering finger-nails and tossed it feebly towards them."

"Mr Tech stood in the shade of the customs house and thought: what am I here for?"
