Whatsoever引导从句的疑惑

小说《Hard Times》中:Whatsoever the public meeting held in Coketown, and whatsoever the subject of such meeting, some Coketowner was sure to seize the occasion of alluding to his eminently practical friend Gradgrind.

请问老师:

1 句中两个Whatsoever是做代词引导让步状语从句吗?

2 Whatsoever在句中做什么成分?

第一个Whatsoever是做held的宾语吗?还是做表语?Whatsoever the public meeting held in Coketown (was)

第二个Whatsoever是做表语吗?and whatsoever the subject of such meeting (was),省略了was,对吗?

柯林斯的解释可以解决您的困惑吧?注意pronoun用法。应该解释为省略了系动词。
