The analyses of a text
The protagonist, Philip moved in with his uncle Mr. Carey, the Vicar of Blackstable after his mother's death.
He goes to the medical school St. Luke's in London.
He fell for the waitress Mildred. He went out with her, but she didn't like him.
She now is married to a German.
............................................

His imagination presented her to him now with her defects of person and manner exaggerated, so that he shuddered at the thought of having been connected with her.
[Of Human Bondage by Somerset Maugham]
