。长难句解析
Her favourite walk, and where she frequently went1 while the others were calling on Lady Catherine2, was3 along the open grove4 which edged that side of the park, where there was a nice sheltered path, which no one seemed to value but herself, and where she felt beyond the reach of Lady Catherine's curiosity5.
解:1主语+2时间状语从句+3系动词+4表语+5定语从句
析:“where she frequently went”是由where引导的主语从句;“which edged…where there was…which no one…where she felt…”是4个并列的定语从句,都修饰先行词the open grove,第一个关系代词which在从句中作主语,第二个关系代词which在从句中作宾语,两个关系副词where都在各自引导的定语从句中作地点状语
