。长难句解析
What Wickham had said of the living1 was2 fresh3 in her memory, and as she recalled his very words4, it was impossible not to feel that there was gross duplicity on one side or the other5; and, for a few moments, she6 flattered7 herself8 that her wishes did not err9.
解:1主语从句+2系动词+3表语+4时间状语从句+5宾语从句+6主语+7谓语+8宾语+9宾语从句
析:“What Wickham had said of the living”是由what引导的主语从句;在“it was impossible not to feel”中,it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语“not to feel”;“that there was gross…or the other”和“that her wishes did not err”都是由连接词that引导的宾语从句
