The Jade Story Book; Stories from the Orient, Opening, part 11, sentence 16

The number of shops stocked with all kinds of merchandise—as the finest linens from several parts of India; silks and brocades from Persia; porcelain from Japan—surprised him very much; but when he came to the shops of the goldsmiths and jewellers, he was in a kind of ecstasy at beholding such quantities of wrought gold and silver, and was dazzled by the lustre of the pearls, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and other precious stones exposed for sale.

Who acts: Japan, kind, lustre · What happens: stock, surprise, come, be, behold, dazzle · To what, where: number, Japan, other precious stones, shops, kind, such quantities
