anything else come to mind?The whole Wickham affair is the best one I can think of, too.
It takes place in Darcy's letter to Elizabeth after she turns down his first proposal.
All you need in one example, right?

Another example, though not as lengthy, nor as easy to find, is when Elizabeth starts thinking back on Wickham's behavior and realizing how she was duped by his gentile manners.
This begins during the reading of the letter I think, but then continues after the letter as well, if I am not mistaken.

There is a little flashback when Elizabeth recounts how Mr. & Mrs. Bennett's relationship began.
Not sure where that is.

I wish you good success on your homework.

I thought of another flashback:
in the letter from Aunt Gardiner to Elizabeth explaining Darcy's participation in rescuing Lydia's reputation, all that Darcy did in bribing Wickham, attending the wedding, etc., is portrayed to the reader in flashback.
