。长难句解析
She1 felt2 all the perverseness of the mischance3 that should bring him where no one else was brought4; and to prevent its ever happening again5, took care to inform6 him at first that it was a favourite haunt of hers7.
解:1主语+2谓语+3宾语+4定语从句+5状语+6谓语+7宾语从句
析:“that should bring him where no one else was brought”是定语从句,修饰先行词the perverseness of the mischance,关系代词that在从句中作主语,“where no one else was brought”是由连接副词where引导的宾语从句;不定式短语“to prevent its ever happening again”作目的状语;谓语took的主语是She;“that it was a favourite haunt of hers”是由连接代词that引导的宾语从句
