In Ghostly Japan, Names of Incense Used., part 1, sentence 90

But partly because the habit of wandering had become with him a second nature, and partly because of a love of independence as savage as a gipsy’s, I was never able to keep him with me for more than two days at a time.

Who acts: habit, I · What happens: wonder, become, not be, keep, love · To what, where: second nature, Tōkyō, independence
