In Ghostly Japan, Morning Awakening After a Night’s Rest in a Temple, part 3, sentence 2

I had the privilege of meeting him in Tōkyō, where he was making a brief stay on his way to India;—and we took a long walk together, and talked of Eastern religions, about which he knew incomparably more than I. Whatever I could tell him concerning local beliefs, he would comment upon in the most startling manner,—citing weird correspondences in some living cult of India, Burmah, or Ceylon.

Who acts: I, privilege, Tōkyō, we · What happens: have, meet, make, take, talk, know · To what, where: privilege, him, Tōkyō, brief stay, way, long walk · Speech: someone speaks here
