The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Chance by Joseph Conrad: me to be watching her. Which was horrible.
Meantime Fyne was telling me rather remarkable things--for him. He
declared first it was a mercy in a sense. Then he asked me if it
were not real madness, to saddle one's existence with such a
perpetual reminder. The daily existence. The isolated sea-bound
existence. To bring such an additional strain into the solitude
already trying enough for two people was the craziest thing.
Undesirable relations were bad enough on shore. One could cut them
or at least forget their existence now and then. He himself was
preparing to forget his brother-in-law's existence as much as
possible.
