Michael Bailey:
708 24 " "'Shadowing.'"  Cyprian, somewhat embarrassed,
had not heard the term before. "
 
"Obliged almost to be someone's ....projection".  [curious word?]....
 
In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism in which one attributes to others one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses/desires without letting the ego recognize them. The theory was developed by Sigmund Freud and further refined by his daughter Anna Freud, and for this reason, it is sometimes referred to as "Freudian Projection" [1][2]

Then on page 709, Derrick Theign, a sodomite, projects, a "sodomite sensibility" onto Cyprian.
"All you people...etc."....

Freud was in Vienna at this time.........Psychoanalysis was born here......."Shall I/(he) project a World?" !!
Psychoanalysis metaphorically like spying?...........

TRP shure can project a world..........................
