Which are correct:
1-Tall, Jane was walking up and down the corridor.
2-Tall, she was walking up and down the corridor.

3-Jane, tall, was walking up and down the corridor.
4-She, tall, was walking up and down the corridor.

These are like the setences I posted in my previous post, but here there is no causal connection between Jane's tallness and her walking up and down the corridor (while her being tall and her reaching the top shelf do have a connection.)

No one is correct.

Just strange, meaningless, constructions, as there's no logical linking. Bad writing.

Use:

Tall Jane was walking up and down the corridor.
