By changing _where_ to the equivalent phrase _in
which_, and using a diagram similar to (8), Lesson 59, the double nature of
the conjunctive adverb will be seen.
13. He raised the maid from where she knelt. (Supply _the place_
before _where_.)
14. Youth is the time when the seeds of character are sown.
15. Shylock would give the duke no reason why he followed a losing suit
against Antonio.
16. Mark the majestic simplicity of those laws whereby the operations of

LESSON 61.
COMPOSITION--ADJECTIVE CLAUSE.
+COMMA--RULE.--The _Adjective Clause_, when not restrictive, is set off by
the comma.+
+Explanation+.--I picked the apple _that was ripe_. I picked the apple,
_which was ripe_. In the first sentence the adjective clause restricts or
limits _apple_, telling which one was picked; in the second the adjective
clause is added merely to describe the apple picked, the sentence being
nearly equivalent to, I picked the apple, _and it_ was ripe. This
difference in meaning is shown by the punctuation.[Footnote: There are
other constructions in which the relative is more nearly equivalent to _and
he_ or _and it_; as, I gave the letter to my friend, _who will return it to
you_.
