Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 19 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Thus situated, employed in the most detestable occupation, immersed in a solitude where nothing could for an instant call my attention from the actual scene in which I was engaged, my spirits became unequal; I grew restless and nervous. Every moment I feared to meet my persecutor. Sometimes I sat with my eyes fixed on the ground, fearing to raise them lest they should encounter the object which I so much dreaded to behold. I feared to wander from the sight of my fellow creatures lest when alone he should come to claim his companion.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
