This character reflects on a Persian rug received as a gift, likening the weaver who made it purely for aesthetic reasons to  a man living his entire life with pleasure and dying knowing that he lived happily. The giver of that gift, the poet J.  Cronshaw, dies of cirrhosis at the residence of this character, who renounces his religion after meeting a pious American  named Weeks during his year-long stay in Heidelberg. He has a brief fling with a penny-romance novelist named (*)  Norah Nesbitt in the interlude of his destructive relationship with a waitress who prostitutes herself to feed her baby. The reader  first meets this character in his aunt and uncle's vicarage in Kent. This character, who eventually becomes a doctor, spends the  majority of the novel in which he appears conducting unhappy affairs with Miss Wilkinson and Mildred Rogers. For 10 points,  name this man who marries Sally Athelney, the club-footed protagonist of W. Somerset Maugham's Of Human Bondage.
