I am reading John B. Conway's book, "Functions of a Complex Variable I" (Second Edition) ...
I am currently focussed on Chapter III Elementary Properties and Examples of Analytic Functions ... Section 2: Analytic Functions ... ...
I need help in fully understanding aspects of Theorem 2.29 ...
[NOTE: Notice that the statement of Theorem 2.29 follows the proof ... see below ... ]
Theorem 2,29 and its proof read as follows:

In the above text by Conway, we read the following:
" ... ... Using the fact that \(\displaystyle u\) and \(\displaystyle v\) satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations it is easy to see that
\(\displaystyle \frac{ f( z + s + it ) - f(z) }{ s + it } = u_x(z) + iv_x(z) + \frac{ \phi(s, t) + i \psi(x, t) }{ s + it }\) ... ... ... "
My question is as follows:
What is the (rigorous) process by which we arrive at
\(\displaystyle \frac{ f( z + s + it ) - f(z) }{ s + it } = u_x(z) + iv_x(z) + \frac{ \phi(s, t) + i \psi(x, t) }{ s + it }\) ...?
That is ... why/how exactly does this follow ...
Hope someone can help ... I am aiming to have a rigorous understanding of the above proof ...

Part of the answer may well be as follows:
\(\displaystyle \frac{ f(z + s + it) - f(z) }{ s + it } \)\(\displaystyle = \frac{ f(x + iy + s + it) - f(x + iy) }{ s + it }\) \(\displaystyle = \frac{ [ u( x + s, y + t ) + iv( x + s, y + t ) ] - [ u(x, y) + iv(x, y) ] }{ s + it }\)
\(\displaystyle = \frac{ [ u( x + s, y + t ) - u(x, y) ] + i [ v( x + s, y + t ) - v(x, y) ] }{ s + it }\)\(\displaystyle = \frac{ [ u_x ( x, y )s + u_y (x, y)t + \phi (s, t) }{ s + it } + i \frac{ [v_x ( x, y )s + v_y (x, y)t + \psi (s, t) }{ s + it }\)\(\displaystyle = \frac{ [ u_x ( x, y )s - v_x (x, y)t + \phi (s, t) }{ s + it } + i \frac{ [v_x ( x, y )s + u_x (x, y)t + \psi (s, t) }{ s + it }\) \(\displaystyle = \frac{ [ u_x ( x, y )s + i u_x (x, y)t ] }{ s + it } + i \frac{ [v_x ( x, y )s + i v_x (x, y)t ] }{ s + it } + \frac{ [ \phi (s, t) + i \psi (s, t)] }{ s + it } \)\(\displaystyle = u_x(z) + iv_x(z) + \frac{ [ \phi (s, t) + i \psi (s, t)] }{ s + it }\)Is that correct?
