but Elizabeth felt an anxiety on the subject which drew off her attention even from Wickham;

When they had gained their own room, Jane taking out the letter, said, "This is from Caroline Bingley; what it contains, has surprised me a good deal. The whole party have left Netherfield by this time, and are on their way to town; and without any intention of coming back again. You shall hear what she says."
一到了她们自己房里,吉英就拿出信来,说道:“这是卡罗琳·彬格莱写来的,信上的话真叫我大吃一惊。她们一家人现在已经离开尼日斐花园上城里去了,再也不打算回来了。你看看她怎么说的吧。”

长难句解析
Jane recollected herself soon, and putting the letter away, tried to join with her usual cheerfulness in the general conversation; but Elizabeth felt an anxiety on the subject which drew off her attention even from Wickham; and no sooner had he and his companion taken leave, than a glance from Jane invited her to follow her up stairs.

解:主语+谓语+宾语+状语+谓语+宾语+定语从句
析:①定语从句:which drew off her attention even from Wickham
该从句润色先行词the subject,关系代词which在从句中作主语,不可省略。
②no sooner…than勾引韶光状语从句,当no sooner位于句首时,前面的主句运用部分倒装。
