The passage uses **third person limited** point of view. The narrator describes the thoughts and feelings of Osgood while maintaining a narrative distance from the characters. The pronouns used (e.g., "he," "his") indicate that it is third person, and the narrative focuses on Osgood's perspective, limited to his thoughts and feelings.
