RULE XVII.

When a relative pronoun is of the interrogative kind, it refers to the

word or phrase containing the answer to the question for its

_subsequent_, which subsequent must agree in _case_ with the

interrogative; as, "_Whose_ book is that? _Joseph's;" "Who_ gave you

this? _John_."

NOTE. Whether the interrogative _really refers_ to a subsequent or

not, is doubtful; but it is certain that the subsequent should agree

in case with the interrogative.
