=Tennessee’s Partner=, camp-name for associate and co-worker with a dare-devil who runs away with the Partner’s wife, returns to camp without her, and is taken back amicably by the Partner. When Tennessee is tried for highway robbery the Partner offers “$1700 in coarse gold and a watch”--his whole fortune--to buy him off. The offer is refused; Tennessee is hanged. The Partner waits composedly, a little way from the gallows, with a mule and a cart. “When the gentlemen are done with the ‘diseased,’ he will take him.” “Ef thar is any present”--in his simple, serious way--“as would like to jine in the fun’l, they ken come.”--Bret Harte, _Tennessee’s Partner_ (1871). =Tennis-Ball of Fortune= (_The_), Pertinax, the Roman emperor. He was first a charcoal-seller, then a schoolmaster, then a soldier, then an emperor; but within three months he was dethroned and murdered (126-193; reigned from January 1 to March 28, A.D. 193). =Tent= (_Prince Ahmed’s_), a tent given to him by the fairy, Pari-Banou. It would cover a whole army, yet would fold up into so small a compass that it might be carried in one’s pocket.--_Arabian Nights._ Solomon’s carpet of green silk was large enough to afford standing room for a whole army, but might be carried about like a pocket-handkerchief. The ship, _Skidbladnir_, would hold all the deities of Valhalla, but might be folded up like a roll of parchment. Bayard, the horse of the four sons of Aymon, grew larger or smaller, as one or more of the four sons mounted on its back.--Villeneuve, _Les Quatre Filz Aymon_. =Tents= (_The father of such as dwell in_), Jabal.--_Gen._ iv. 20. =Terebin´thus=, Ephes-dammim, or Pasdammim.--_1 Sam._ xvii. 1. O, thou that ’gainst Goliath’s impious head The youthful arms in Terebinthus sped, When the proud foe, who scoffed at Israel’s band, Fell by the weapon of a stripling hand. Tasso, _Jerusalem Delivered_, viii. (1575). =Terence of England= (_The_), Richard Cumberland (1732-1811). Here Cumberland lies, having acted his parts; The Terence of England, the mender of hearts; A flattering painter, who made it his care To draw men as they ought to be, not as they are ... Say ... wherefore his characters, thus without fault, ... Quite sick of pursuing each troublesome elf, He grew lazy at last, and drew men from himself. Goldsmith, _Retaliation_ (1774). =Tere´sa=, the female associate of Ferdinand, Count Fathom.--Smollett, _Count Fathom_ (1754). =Teresa d´Acunha=, lady’s-maid of Joceline, countess of Glenallan.--Sir W. Scott, _The Antiquary_ (time, George III.). =Teresa Panza=, wife of Sancho Panza. In pt. I. i. 7 she is called Dame Juana [Gutierez]. In pt. II. iv. 7 she is called Maria [Gutierez]. In pt. I. iv. she is called Joan.--Cervantes, _Don Quixote_ (1605-15).
