Compact family of Lip functions under the sup norm metric, proof verification.

Hi everyone I'd like to know if the following is correct, I'd appreciate your opinion and also any suggestion to improve my argument. Thanks in advance for your time.

If $(K,d)$ is a compact metric space and $u\in K$ show that for any finite $M$ and $\alpha\in (0,1]$, $\mathcal{F}=\{f\in \text{Lip}(\alpha,M): \lvert f(u)\rvert\ \le M \}$ is compact with respect to the $d_{sup}$, where $\text{Lip}(\alpha,M)$ is the set of all real valued function on $S$, s.t. $\lvert f(x)-f(y)\rvert\le Md(x,y)^{\alpha}$

Proof: $\mathcal{F}$ is uniformly equicontinuous. Given $\varepsilon>0$, let $\delta =[\varepsilon/{(M+1)]}^{1/\alpha}$. Then for $x,y\in K$, $d(x,y)<\delta$ and $f\in \mathcal{F}$ we thus have $\rvert f(x)-f(y)\lvert\le Md(x,y)^{\alpha}<\varepsilon$. Also $\mathcal{F}$ is uniformly bounded, since $\lvert f(u)\rvert\ \le M $ for any $u\in K$, hence $\sup_{u\in K}\lvert f(u)\rvert\le M$. By Arzela- Ascoli $\mathcal{F}$ is totally bounded by $d_{sup}$.

To conclude, we will show that $\mathcal{F}$ is complete. It sufficient to show that $\mathcal{F}$ is closed, since $\mathcal{F}\subset C_b(K)$ which is complete [$C_b(K)$ are the continuous bounded functions from $K$ to $\mathbb{R}$].

Suppose $f_n\to f$ for $f_n\in \mathcal{F}$. Given $\varepsilon>0$ for a sufficient large $n\in\mathbb{N}$, $d_{sup}(f,f_n)<\varepsilon$. Let $x\in K$, then $\lvert f(x)-f_n(x) \rvert \le d_{sup}(f,f_n)$, it follows that $\vert f(x)\rvert <\lvert f_i(x) \rvert+\varepsilon\le M+\varepsilon $, since $\varepsilon$ was arbitrary then $\lvert f(x) \rvert\le M $.

Also we have the following: \begin{align}\lvert f(x)-f(y) \rvert \le \lvert f(x)-f_n(x) \rvert+\lvert f_n(x)-f_n(y) \rvert +\lvert f_n(y)-f(y) \rvert \\< Md(x,y)^{\alpha}+2\varepsilon\end{align}

Thus $\lvert f(x)-f(y) \rvert \le Md(x,y)^{\alpha}$ and hence $ \mathcal{F}$ is closed as we claimed.

Is the above OK? this is the version of Arzela Ascoli that I use
