They rushed off by herself to visit some of the younger relatives

[tufguy]

Is correct to say "They rushed off by herself to visit some of the younger relatives"?

Here is a fragment of the pargraph that I am referring to "Mr R drove to long island with his wife to visit some of her relatives. She left him to chat with an old aunt of hers and 'they rushed off by herself' to visit some of the younger relatives".

Is it a printing mistake? Should it have been written as "they rused off to visit some of the younger relatives"? Or does it mean that Mr R's wife made him and herself visit their younger relatives in a hurry?

@tufguy, have we ever told you that we need the source and author of any text you quote?

How on earth did I manage to miss that glaring omission? I've hidden my response until tufguy provides the relevant information.
