长难句解析
She1 then read2 the first sentence3 aloud, which comprised the information of their having just resolved to follow their brother to town directly4, and of their meaning to dine in Grosvenor street, where Mr. Hurst had a house5.
解：1主语+2谓语+3宾语+4定语从句+5定语从句
析：①定语从句：which comprised the information of…dine in Grosvenor street
该从句修饰先行词the first sentence，引导词which在从句中作主语；现在分词短语having just resolved to…directly的逻辑主语是their。
②定语从句：where Mr. Hurst had a house
该从句修饰先行词Grosvenor street，引导词where在从句中作地点状语。
