长难句解析
The only pain1 was2 in leaving her father3, who would certainly miss her4, and who, when it came to the point, so little liked her going that he told her to write to him, and almost promised to answer her letter5.
解：1主语+2系动词+3表语+4定语从句+5定语从句
析：定语从句：who, when it came to the point, so little liked her going that he told her to write to him, and almost promised to answer her letter
该定语从句修饰先行词her father，关系代词who在从句中作主语，不可省略，谓语是liked；该从句还包含一个由“so…that”引导的结果状语从句，状语从句的主语是he，由and连接的两个谓语分别是told和promised。
