长难句解析
And Mrs. Collins1 did not think2 it right to press the subject3, from the danger of raising expectations which might only end in disappointment4; for in her opinion it admitted not of a doubt, that all her friend's dislike would vanish, if she could suppose him to be in her power5.
解：1主语+2谓语+3宾语+4定语从句+5宾语从句
析：“Mrs. Collins did not think it right to press the subject”中的it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式短语“to press the subject”；“which might only end in disappointment”是定语从句，修饰先行词expectations，关系代词which在从句中作主语，不可省略。
