"The Vicar's Daughter"

Although it doesn't affect the meaning very much, there's a grammatical ambiguity in the line "And I can see her smiling as I caught her" in "The Vicar's Daughter."  "Her smiling" could be parsed either as a possessive adjective modifying a gerund or a pronoun modified by a participle.
