Thanks for answering my question!

Here is another question of the story"A Perfect Day for Bananafish"

Paragraph 3

With her little lacquer brush, while the phone was ringing, she went over the nail of her little finger, accentuating the line of the moon. She then replaced the cap on the bottle of lacquer and, standing up, passed her left--the wet--hand back and forth through the air......

Q: Can I say ...of lacquer and, standing up, passing her left...
or ...lacquer and, standing up passing her...
or.... lacquer and, stood up, passed her left....?

P.S. Will you help me continuously? Can I ask you English question not only through the help center of ESL cafe, but also through e-mails

The rules of punctuation wouild prescribe, "She then replaced the cap on the bottle of lacquer, and standing up, passed her left--the wet--hand back and forth through the air......

My fee for private online tutoring is $20 per hour .
