长难句解析
The introduction1 was followed up2 on his side by a happy readiness of conversation -- a readiness at the same time perfectly correct and unassuming; and the whole party3 were still standing and talking together4 very agreeably, when the sound of horses drew their notice5, and Darcy and Bingley6 were seen riding7 down the street.
解：1主语+2谓语+3主语+4谓语+5时间状语从句+6主语+7谓语
析：①本句第二个and后的句型是“was/were doing sth. when…”，表示当某人或某物正在做某事，就在这时突然又发生了另一件事。
②Darcy and Bingley were seen riding down the street使用了一般过去时的被动语态，结构为“was/were+动词过去分词”。
