Can you explain what this sentence means gramatically?
  

Top answer

He started with delight HIs body jerked once as he suddenly felt delight and keeping close to his lamp-post and staying near his street-light tried to read the result in their walk. Without more context, I don't know what this means. Maybe 'while continuing to walk with his companion'.
