Rulemaking Hearing
A rulemaking hearing was held regarding amendments to Rule 1330-01-.24, ENDORSEMENT OF RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS TO PROVIDE POLYSOMNOGRAPHIC SERVICES (THIRD PATHWAY). Rule 1330-01-.24 is amended by deleting part (1)(c) 3 but not its subparts, and substituting instead the following language, so as amended, the new part (1)(c) 3 shall read: 3. Proof of completion of the Sleep Center or Sleep Lab Competency Checklist, as approved by this Board, signed by both the director of the sleep lab and the medical director from a current employing facility, verifying that an individual certified as a respiratory therapist has obtained a minimum of five hundred and four (504) hours in a sleep center or sleep laboratory or that an individual registered as a respiratory therapist has obtained a minimum of two hundred and fifty-two (252) hours in a sleep lab or sleep center, and outlining competency relative to the following topics, which include, but are not limited to: Authority: T.C.A. §§ 63-31-107 and 63-27-104. Comments from the public:

 * A. Kelly A. Cardene, M.D.
 * Dr. Cardene opposes the third pathway to licensure to perform polysomnographic services by respiratory therapists.

 * B. Brevard Haynes, M.D. Member of Tennessee Sleep Society
 * Dr. Haynes expressed concern that proof of completion of competency checklist is not required to be performed in an accredited sleep center.

 * C. Walter Holland, LPT, Tennessee Sleep Society Representative
 * Mr. Holland is in favor of the increase in training hours but is concerned that the checklist does not represent an objective proof of competency.

 * D. Paul Anderson, LPT
 * Mr. Anderson is in favor of the increased training hours for the third pathway; however, he expressed concern regarding the type of facility at which the training would take place.

 * E. Colleen Schabacker, RRT
 * Ms. Schabacker opposed the increased hours required for respiratory therapists to be licensed as LPT’s by the third pathway. She stated that Tennessee respiratory therapists have been providing polysomnographic services safely for decades under their scope of practice and that the BRPT has exempted respiratory therapists from any additional training in order to take the licensure examination.

 * F. David Johnson, RRT, Legislative Chair for Tennessee Society for Respiratory Care
 * Mr. Johnson stated that the TSRC was in favor of the proposed amendment to increase training hours for respiratory practitioners being credentialed by the third pathway.

 * G. Burke L. Mays, Mays & Associates Sleep Disorder Testing, Inc
 * Burke Mays, President and CEO of Mays & Associates Sleep Disorder Testing, Inc, submitted a letter to the Board opposing the training of polysomnographic technologists in an accredited sleep center rather than in the healthcare centers where they are employed due to an alleged hardship for persons who work in a rural facility.

After discussion, Mr. Gantt made a motion seconded by Dr. Mack to approve the rule as amended. The motion passed by roll call with all members voting to approve. Mr. Gantt made a motion seconded by Mr. Davis to inform licensees of the current rules governing the practice of polysomnograpy for respiratory therapists. The administrative office was directed to send out a post card to all active licensees regarding rule 1330-01-.24.

Ms. Jean-Baptiste presented the Economic Impact Statement on small businesses for the Board’s adoption. Mr. Gantt made a motion to delete #3 and #4 on the proposed economic statement due to not being able to determine the economic impact on small hospitals and rural establishments with the passage of this rule amendment. Dr. Mack seconded the motion. The motion passed by roll call vote with all members voting to approve.

Ms. Jean-Baptiste presented the Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for the Board’s approval. Mr. Cook made a motion seconded by Dr. Mack to approve the Regulatory Flexibility Analysis as presented. The motion passed by roll call vote with all members voting to approve.

Office of General Counsel Rules Discussion
The Board is concerned that a licensee who has been out of practice for an extended period may need to show their competence to return to work. The Board discussed reducing licensure fees now that the Board has a substantial monetary reserve. To address these concerns Ms. Jean-Baptiste presented a draft for proposed rule changes to amend Rule 1330-01-.05. (m) relative to Qualifications and Procedures for Licensure and Rule 1330-01.-.06 (d) relative to licensure renewal fees. Ms. Jean-Baptiste suggested rather than a new rule for those persons who have not practiced, the Board consider adopting a policy for reinstatement of a lapsed license with requirements for various lengths of time that the licensee has been out of practice in order to be reinstated. Dr. Mack made a motion seconded by Mr. Cook to place this item on the agenda of the February meeting for further discussion. The motion carried.

Litigation

This referral was evaluated and rejected recommendations resulting in the TDOH being notified on 9/21/11.

Applicant Interview/File Review

 * A. Thomas Donato—Mr. Donato is seeking licensure as a registered respiratory therapist by reciprocity. He appeared before the Board due to a misdemeanor conviction. After interview and discussion, Dr. Mack made a motion seconded by Mr. Davis to license Mr. Donato pending a favorable review from TnPAP. The motion carried.

 * B. Jason Perdue—Mr. Perdue was not present. He is seeking licensure as a respiratory therapist by reciprocity from Kentucky. Mr. Perdue was disciplined by the Kentucky Board of Respiratory Care and is currently on probation and being monitored by the Kentucky Professionals Recovery Network. He has indicated to Ms. Webb that he does not wish to be licensed in Tennessee if the Board chooses to mirror the disciplinary action of Kentucky by referring him to TnPAP. As it would be the Board’s inclination to refer Mr. Perdue to TnPAP, Mr. Cook made a motion seconded by Mr. Major to offer him the option of withdrawing his application without adverse consequences. The motion carried.

Correspondence/Discussion

 * A. EMS Ventilator Training—Mr. David Johnson, RRT, TSRC Representative, presented a proposal to be made to the Emergency Medical Services Board regarding the training of EMS personnel who transport ventilator patients. After discussion, Mr. Gantt made a motion seconded by Mr. Major to defer action until the Board has had an opportunity to review the proposal in depth as well as review the American Association of Respiratory Care (AARC) position statement regarding ventilator transports. The motion carried. Ms. Partee will send the AARC position statement to all Board members. This discussion is to be placed on the agenda of the next board meeting.

 * B. Number of Distance Continuing Education Hours Allowed—Charlie Brooks, RRT has requested that the Board consider revising the requirement that five (5) of the ten (10) continuing education hours required each year be face to face due to present day technology. A task force comprised of board members, a TSRC representative and Charlie Brooks was formed to meet one hour before the next scheduled meeting in February to discuss the issue and make recommendations.

 * C. National Board of Respiratory Care (NBRC) Credential Requirement for Arterial Blood Gas Analysis—There is some debate as to whether NBRC membership should be required to be maintained after initial licensure. While it is not specified for all licensees, a current NBRC credential is required in order to be credentialed to perform arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis. The Board is considering a rulemaking hearing to require all licensees to have a current NBRC credential. Mr. Gantt made a motion seconded by Mr. Major to direct the administrative staff to do a one hundred (100%) audit of all licensees licensed after July 1, 2002 who have the ABG endorsement to see if they have a current NBRC credential. The motion carried. The NBRC is to be contacted to obtain a list of Tennessee’s current members which is to be cross referenced with active licensees since 2003 that have ABG endorsement. Respiratory therapists are to be notified by post card that according to the rules pertaining to the practice of polysomnographic services a current ABG credential must be maintained.

 * D. Capillary Blood Gas Testing/Analysis By Polysomnographers—Lebonheur Pediatric Sleep Disorders Center in Memphis asked the Board of Medical Examiners for an Advisory Opinion as to whether or not a polysomnographic technologist could perform capillary blood gas tests. The BME opinion states that while capillary blood gas analysis does not fall within the scope of practice for a polysomnographic technologist or technician as specified in T.C.A. §63-31-101, there is nothing that would prevent delegation of such duties by a physician to a licensee who has been appropriately trained in the necessary specimen collection and procedures with the supervising physician taking responsibility for ensuring that the delegate is sufficiently trained to perform those functions. The Board of Respiratory Care disagreed with this opinion. Ms. Partee will attend the next BME meeting to convey the Board of Respiratory Care’s concerns regarding delegating capillary blood gas analysis to polysomnographers.

 * E. Criminal Background Check Length of Validity—All applicants for initial licensure are required to have a criminal background check before being licensed. Per the current practice, the CBC is valid until the applicant is licensed or until the application expires, whichever comes first and the CBC is not valid after one year. When in the case of dual licensure applicants, the Board will accept the CBC information submitted to another board if the CBC is no older than six (6) months. If older than six (6) months, the applicant would be required to submit a new CBC. The Board was asked to either approve the continuation of this practice or to suggest another policy. Mr. Gantt made a motion seconded by Mr. Major to continue the current practice. The motion carried.

Ratifications
Mr. Davis made a motion seconded by Mr. Gantt to approve the following lists of initial and reinstatement applicants for registered respiratory therapist licensure. The motion carried.

My Last Farewell

Farewell, beloved Country, treasured region of the sun,

Pearl of the sea of the Orient, our lost Eden!

To you eagerly I surrender this sad and gloomy life;

And were it brighter, fresher, more florid,

Even then I’d give it to you, for your sake alone.

In fields of battle, deliriously fighting,

Others give you their lives, without doubt, without regret;

The place matters not: where there’s cypress, laurel or lily,

On a plank or open field, in combat or cruel martyrdom,

It’s all the same if the home or country asks.

I die when I see the sky has unfurled its colors

And at last after a cloak of darkness announces the day;

If you need scarlet to tint your dawn,

Shed my blood, pour it as the moment comes,

And may it be gilded by a reflection of the heaven’s newly-born light.

My dreams, when scarcely an adolescent,

My dreams, when a young man already full of life,

Were to see you one day, jewel of the sea of the Orient,

Dry those eyes of black, that forehead high,

Without frown, without wrinkles, without stains of shame.

My lifelong dream, my deep burning desire,

This soul that will soon depart cries out: Salud!

To your health! Oh how beautiful to fall to give you flight,

To die to give you life, to die under your sky,

And in your enchanted land eternally sleep.

If upon my grave one day you see appear,

Amidst the dense grass, a simple humble flower,

Place it near your lips and my soul you’ll kiss,

And on my brow may I feel, under the cold tomb,

The gentle blow of your tenderness, the warmth of your breath.

Let the moon see me in a soft and tranquil light,

Let the dawn send its fleeting radiance,

Let the wind moan with its low murmur,

And should a bird descend and rest on my cross,

Let it sing its canticle of peace.

Let the burning sun evaporate the rains,

And with my clamor behind, towards the sky may they turn pure;

Let a friend mourn my early demise,

And in the serene afternoons, when someone prays for me,

O Country, pray to God also for my rest!

Pray for all the unfortunate ones who died,

For all who suffered torments unequaled,

For our poor mothers who in their grief and bitterness cry,

For orphans and widows, for prisoners in torture,

And for yourself pray that your final redemption you’ll see.

And when the cemetery is enveloped in dark night,

And there, alone, only those who have gone remain in vigil,

Disturb not their rest, nor the mystery,

And should you hear chords from a zither or psaltery,

It is I, beloved Country, singing to you.

And when my grave, then by all forgotten,

has not a cross nor stone to mark its place,

Let men plow and with a spade scatter it,

And before my ashes return to nothing,

May they be the dust that carpets your fields.

Then nothing matters, cast me in oblivion.

Your atmosphere, your space and valleys I’ll cross.

I will be a vibrant and clear note to your ears,

Aroma, light, colors, murmur, moan, and song,

Constantly repeating the essence of my faith.

My idolized country, sorrow of my sorrows,

Beloved Filipinas, hear my last good-bye.

There I leave you all, my parents, my loves.

I’ll go where there are no slaves, hangmen nor oppressors,

Where faith doesn’t kill, where the one who reigns is God.

Goodbye, dear parents, brother and sisters, fragments of my soul,

Childhood friends in the home now lost,

Give thanks that I rest from this wearisome day;

Goodbye, sweet foreigner, my friend, my joy;

Farewell, loved ones, to die is to rest.

José Rizal, 1896

(　129　) certainty is known of Jeanie Mitchell. Maggie Borland was the daughter of the landlord of another hostelry, "The Red Lion." The "Godly Bryan" and his particular transgression are referred to in a paragraph, sometimes omitted, from Burns's letter to John Richmond, of July 9, 1786. "Godly Bryan was in the Inquisition yesterday, and half the countryside as witnesses against him. He still stands out steady and denying; but proof was led yesternight of circumstances highly suspicious, almost de facto: one of the girls made oath that she upon a time rashly entered the house (to speak in your cant) 'in the hour of cause.'" As a matter of fact, Bryan, farmer, West Welton, did actually appear before the Session of Mauchline on July 8, 1786, to answer to a charge of immorality preferred against him. He died at Mauchline, and is buried in the churchyard there. The scene of Brown's imaginary punishment was the village green, in the centre of which then stood the village pump, a handy stake to which to tie the culprit, while the populace energetically expressed their opinion of him in the literal way which then obtained.

By the aid of these brief notes, it will be found that the poem sufficiently explains itself.

 and this island is in just 3°. From Sian we went to S¼S.W., as far as an island called Paginsara, it is in 1⅙°; and from this island to Sarangani the run is N.S¼N.E. S.W. in sight of all these islands.

From Paginsara we went to S.¼S.E., until we came between two islets, which lie together, N.E. and S.W., and that one to the N.E. is named Suar, and the other is named Atean, and one is in 1° 45', and the other in 1½°.

From Atean we went S.S.E. until we sighted the Molucos, and then we went to East, and entered between Mare and Tedori, at which we anchored, and there we were very well received, and made very good arrangements for peace, and made a house on shore for trading with the people, and so we remained many days, until we had taken in cargo.

The islands of the Malucos are these: Terrenate, Tidori, Mare, Motil, Maquian, Bachian, and Gilolo, these are all those which contain cloves and nutmeg; and there are also several others among them, the names of which I will mention, and in what altitude they are, and the first is Terrenate, which is on the side of the equinoctial line.

La Talata (Lata-lata) lies north of Terrenate N.N.E. and S.S.W., and that which is on the equinoctial line is 190° 30' of longitude from the line itself, and the island of Motil itself with Cagayan lies N.W. and S.E., and with Tagima, which is opposite the island of Quipit, it lies N.E. and S.W.¼N.S., but in these courses one cannot venture to pass, for they say there are many shoals, and so we came

Template:Tlp/doc

This is the Tlp or template link with parameters template.

It can be used in documentation and talk page discussions to show how a template name would be used in code.

Here is how this template looks. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:

Features of :
 * It shows a template name with a link to that template.
 * It shows up to eight parameters.
 * It also shows empty parameters. (See examples below.)
 * It prevents line wraps in its output.
 * It uses normal text style. (While for instance uses monospaced text style.)

This template belongs to a whole family of similar templates. See the see also section below for some of them. For instance, when writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since it decreases readability. Then on the first occurrence of a template name use Tl, or, and then use ,  or.

Examples
Shows up to eight parameters. The rest are dropped. Also shows empty parameters. Even shows empty parameters that come in the end. Equal signs is a problem, but there is a fix. Use numbered parameters to fix it. Remember to start from 2, since the "name" is number 1.

If you have equal signs in your template parameters then some find it simpler to code it using  tags, or the   or   character references. Here's how to do that. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:

title: Template:Tlp/doc

Template:Tlf/doc

This is the template.

The template is equivalent to, but won't link to the template.

Example
gives

title: Template:Tlf/doc


text: Template:Tlc

title: Template:Tlc


text:
Template:Tlc/doc

This is the  template.

This page also provides the full documentation for the templates ' and ', which work almost exactly identically.

Purpose and naming
When a template name with braces is to be shown in documentation, the braces have to be escaped in some way so it doesn't become an actual call to the template. Instead of using  tags you can write it more simply and concisely by using the, , or  templates.

These templates work similarly to and, but don't make the template name into a link. When writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since they can decrease readability. So on the first occurrence of a template name use or, and then use ,  or  thereafter.

The three names were based on template link', despite the fact that, unlike the actual  template, these three don't include an actual link. The mnemonics for and  were invented after the fact, since the template creator used the single letters still available rather than the preferred  (using ) and  (using "normal", non-coded text style) monikers.

Basic operation
Here is how these templates look. Code is to the left; actual rendering to the right:

Use with editprotected templates
Most Wikisource users and even editors will have little or no need for use (or knowledge) of these templates. You will find them of more use if you are a writer or documenter of templates. However, editors may be pointed here when attempting to deal with edit requests on pages which have been protected in some way.

Pages which have been protected can't be edited by every user, but would-be editors can request specific changes on the corresponding Discussion page. An editor requesting a change to a semi-protected page, for example, would add the editsemiprotected template, followed by their request, to the Talk page. The template expands to a texty notice which includes the instruction "Replace the  template with  when the request has been accepted or rejected." An empowered editor acting on the request would then change the template per this instruction.

The desired effect is to replace the template (with its big, eye-catching box of information) by the name of the template, merely showing that the template had been there, and acted upon. The use of the template means that the template should appear in a normal, proportional font-face, as in "".

Functional details

 * This template takes another template-name and some associated pipe-tricked (numbered) parameters (or 'pass parameters'), and displays them as an 'example demonstration' of how the template-name template could be coded, literally. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.
 * Specifics here???
 * Features of, and :
 * They show a template name and up to eight parameters.
 * They also show empty parameters. (See examples hereafter.)
 * They prevent line wraps in their output.

Examples
Note: Wikitables make the  tags transparent, unfortunately, so the " " is missing in these examples.

Shows up to eight parameters. The rest are dropped. Also shows empty parameters. Even shows empty parameters that come in the end.

The use of equal signs is a problem, but there is a fix; see next row. Use  in place of an equal sign, so that it gets rendered properly.

Nested template calls also cause problems ...   ... but there are ways to get around this issue, also. ... another way to do the same thing, using,   and   to insert literal  ,   and  , respectively.

An alternative to using constructs such as  and   to prevent characters from getting interpreted syntactically is to use , which will prevent all characters from being interpreted. For example, in place of you can use Both render as

If a vertical display with parameters on their own lines is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with .

Rh for a secretary's office, were on the table. There were also a few more chairs, two or three couches of bronze, and several presses ranged round the walls. On the floor, in the vicinity of the fire, I was astonished to see crouching a number of large black dogs. They rose up, and glared at me savagely as I approached, but just as I expected to be torn to pieces, they lay down again quietly.

I walked up and down before that extraordinary fire, eyeing those dogs suspiciously. My reflections were indescribably painful. At last, tired of walking, I sat down in the easy chair, and remained contemplating both fire and dogs for, I suppose, an hour. For the time being I could think of nothing else. From a deep reverie I was aroused by the deafening sound of a bell—one stroke only, but its echoes resounded through the whole palace like the knell of doom. What was going to happen now? I became conscious that over my head there was an increasing light, far brighter than that of the lamp on the table. I looked up and saw descending another table, from which the light darted all round in rays of glory. That on which the writing materials were sunk into the ground at my feet, and the one from above became fixed in its place. On it were arranged a number of dishes of polished lead (evidently the precious metal of this wonderful city), containing tempting viands, and transparent vessels of wine of splendid colour. I gazed on these things with the greatest astonishment, but inwardly resolved to die sooner than touch any thing upon that table.

In a few moments I heard the sound of a distant opening door, and saw a procession approaching that sent all the blood in my heart up to my brain in a tumultuous flood. A number of beautiful women advanced towards me, bearing on their shoulders a throne, over which was an orange canopy. Upon that throne there reclined a young

I was a boy of fourteen, there came one day to my father's house an old man of a very remarkable appearance. He was tall and rather thin and shadowy, but his face wore a benevolent expression. He was dressed in a good suit of dark-brown cloth; and when I first saw him, as I opened the door at which he had knocked more than once, I started back astonished at his venerable figure. He asked me, with a mild, soft voice, what my name was, and where my father and mother might be. I showed him into our principal sitting-room, and sent my mother to him.

Their interview was a long one, but what passed at it I never knew. When my mother came from the room, she closed the door carefully, leaving the old man shut up alone. She had been crying, but her face did not express sorrow or pain; nevertheless, as I belong to a rather romantic family I began to imagine all sorts of things. There was a mystery connected with that old man which I determined to unravel. It was my duty, if he was a wicked old man, to detect and expose his wickedness. I loved my mother better than my life, and began to hate that venerable personage, who I thought might be the Prince of Darkness himself in disguise, because he had made her cry. I could not, however, quite make up my mind whether I had better burst open the door, and instantly throw him out of 1

UNT POLLY was short and stout with merry blue eyes and curly dark hair that, where it showed under her pretty hat brim, was just touched with gray.

"Hello, Blessings!" she greeted the children, as they spilled out of the car to meet her. "Every one of you here? That's fine. How do you do, Sam? I've two bags there on the platform, if you will get them."

When they were all stowed away in the car, Sam put the bags in the front where he and Bobby sat, and backed the car out of the station driveway.

"Well, have you decided to come home with me?" Aunt Polly put the question to them bluntly.

The four little Blossoms glanced uncertainly at each other.

"Polly Hayward," said Mother Blossom gayly, "you know perfectly well no one could

Rh get four children ready to take a journey in three days. Why, Dot has absolutely nothing to wear!"

"Oh, I'll lend her something," smiled Aunt Polly.

The children laughed at the idea of Auntie lending any dress of hers to small Dot.

"We'll fix it somehow," declared Aunt Polly comfortably. "I simply have to have those youngsters for a visit at Brookside. We're all getting so fat and lazy with no one to stir us up. Even the dog and cat need rousing."

"We have a dog, Aunt Polly," announced Meg, her eyes shining. "His name is Philip."

Before she had a chance to describe Philip the car reached the Blossom house and stopped at the side door.

"Here I am again, Norah," said Aunt Polly, as Norah came out to receive her.

"And 'tis glad I am to see ye, Mrs. Hayward," responded Norah heartily. "I'll take the bags, Sam. The guest room's all ready, ma'am."

The four children went as far as the

28 door with Aunt Polly, and then Mother Blossom waved them back.

"Auntie and I have a great deal to talk over," she said. "You run away and amuse yourselves till lunch time, like good little Blossoms."

"Wait till I give them what I've brought them," hastily interposed Aunt Polly. "Bobby, you open that black bag and the four parcels on top are for you children."

Bobby opened the bag and took out four packages neatly wrapped in paper and tied with cord.

"How'll we know which is which?" he asked.

"That's for you to find out," returned his aunt, giving him a kiss.

Mother Blossom sat down on the bed and began talking in a low tone to Aunt Polly and the four children raced downstairs and out to the garage to open their presents. They liked the garage because there was plenty of space to play in, where, indeed, they had four empty rooms above the first floor for their own uses.

This morning they rushed upstairs so fast that they never thought of Philip till, as they reached

Rh the top step, Meg looked back and saw the little dog painfully hobbling after them on his three good legs.

"He wants to come, too," she said. "Here, Philip, come on up, good doggie."

Philip managed to finish his climb and then lay down on the floor, panting, but satisfied to be where his friends were.

"I'll give each one a package," Bobby decided. "Then we'll open them, one at a time, like Christmas. You first, Meg."

Meg ripped the string off her parcel with a single motion and pulled off the paper in such a hurry that she tore it in two. Meg always hurried to solve mysteries.

"Why, it's a game!" she cried, when she had opened the box. "All in pieces. Look!"

Bobby took a look and shrieked with delight.

"It's an airplane," he announced instantly. "That's mine, 'cause Aunt Polly knows I like experiments. What you got, Dot?"

Dot hastily unwrapped her package and discovered a doll's trunk.

"With clothes in it for Geraldine," she

30, after turning the tiny key and taking a peep inside. "That's mine all right. What's Twaddles got?"

Twaddles unwrapped his parcel slowly and importantly. He was sure it was for him, and he rather enjoyed making the others wait.

"Nothing but a book," he said disgustedly. "What kind of a book is it, Bobby?"

"That's for Meg," Bobby informed him. "'Black Beauty.' Aunt Polly knows Meg likes to read and is always fussing with animals. I must have your present, Twaddles."

The four Blossoms were more interested in Twaddles' gift than in their own because it was the only one they had not seen. Bobby carefully untied the string and wound it up in a neat ring; then he slowly took off the paper and folded that; finally he opened the flat box.

Twaddles promptly tried to stand on his head, a habit he had when he was pleased. He never did succeed in standing on his head, but he usually turned a very good somersault. He did now.

Rh "Give it to me," he shouted, bobbing right side up again. "See, Dot, it's a water pistol!"

"Well, I don't think that's a good thing to give you," pronounced Meg decisively. "You'll be hitting Dot in the eye."

"Won't, neither," retorted Twaddles, feeling unjustly accused. "Aunt Polly asked me what I wanted most last time she was here and I told her; and she said if I'd promise not to shoot at people, she'd get me one. So there!"

Bobby, the peace-maker, proposed that they all go in and show their presents to Norah, and he helped Meg carry Philip downstairs because she was sure the trip would hurt his leg. Bobby was never in too much of a hurry to do what Meg wanted him to do.

In the afternoon, after lunch, all the Blossoms went for a long ride in the car, stopping at the foundry office on the way home to pick up Father Blossom. Still nothing was said about the children going home with Aunt Polly.

"Do you suppose Mother will let us?" asked Dot, as Meg was helping her undress that night. "Maybe she's afraid I will use up my clean

32 dresses too fast, and Aunt Polly won't have any to put on me. But you could lend me yours, Meg."

"No, I don't believe that's the reason," said Meg slowly. "I tell you what I think—I think Mother and Daddy have to plan a lot before they know whether we can go. But you ought to be more careful with your dresses, Dot."

The next morning Mother Blossom announced that if the children would come out on the porch she had something to tell them. There was a general stampede from the breakfast table—Father Blossom had had an early breakfast and had gone before the others were down—and Aunt Polly in the swing and Mother Blossom in a huge rocking-chair were nearly smothered in a shower of kisses.

"Are we going to Brookside?"

"Are we going home with Aunt Polly?"

"Can I learn to milk a cow?"

"Do you have chickens, Aunt Polly?"

Four little voices chorused at once.

"Dear, dear," chuckled Aunt Polly. "So you've been thinking about Brookside all this

Rh time, have you? And what makes you think your mother wants to talk about the farm with you?"

Four pairs of eyes fixed their anxious gaze upon Mother Blossom.

"Well, dearies," said Mother Blossom in answer, "Daddy and Aunt Polly and I have talked this over, and we've come to a decision. It is impossible for me to get you ready to go home with Aunt Polly to-morrow."

"Oh, Mother!" mourned Twaddles.

"Would you want to go and leave Mother?" that dear lady asked in surprise.

"Not—not exactly," stammered the little boy. "But I want to go somewhere awfully."

"Couldn't you go, too, Muddie?" suggested Meg.

"Listen, and I'll tell you what we've planned," said Mother Blossom. "Aunt Polly has to go back to-morrow. We've tried to persuade her to stay, but it seems the summer is a very bad time to be away from a farm. But a week from to-morrow, if you are all very good and help me as much as you can, I will take you to Brookside

34 to visit Aunt Polly for a month, or as long as she can stand four active youngsters in her quiet house."

"Hurrah!" shouted the four little Blossoms.

"Won't that be great! Let's get the trunk down right away, Mother."

"Well, I wouldn't, not till Daddy comes home," said Aunt Polly, fanning herself and smiling. "A week is plenty of time, and I hear that Dot has to have some new frocks made."

"Is Daddy coming?" Bobby asked suddenly.

"I wanted him to, for I think he needs a rest," said Aunt Polly soberly. "But the most we could get him to promise was that he might come up with your mother when it is time for you to go home."

"Mother's going—she said so," Meg reminded her aunt.

"Only to take you to Brookside, Daughter," explained Mother Blossom. "Then I am coming home again to stay with Daddy. You see, I couldn't leave him alone in this house for a whole month. Think how lonesome he would be."

Rh Twaddles thought this over for a moment.

"Well, I guess it will be a change for him, 'thout any children," he remarked, with a sunny smile.

Aunt Polly scooped him into her lap and gave him a big hug.

"Now where in the world did you get that idea?" she said.

"I found it," confided Twaddles cheerfully.

Dot had already disappeared. She thought it time to begin her packing. Presently they heard her in the house tumbling books out of the bookcase on to the polished floor.

"Glory be, whatever are ye doing?" came Norah's cry. "Haven't I enough to be doing, without ye upsetting a room as fast as I put it in order?"

Explanation
This template is a copy of tlb except that it uses a non-proportional, monospaced font instead of normal text:

I.e., it's a tl-style template-link tag that boldfaces the template name, and accepts parameters. Its main use is in distinguishing between multiple templates with similar names, in documentation, talk page discussions, etc.

The rest of the documentation is for tlx, which works the same way (although it doesn't currently behave sanely when no parameters are given; use tlu instead).

EG rushed into the house.

"Dot Blossom, you're not to touch my books," she scolded. "The idea! Why don't you fuss with your own things?"

Dot looked vexed.

"I'm helping you," she explained. "Don't you want to take your books to Aunt Polly's to read rainy days? Well, then, I'll pack 'em for you."

Mother Blossom had followed Meg, and now she intervened.

"No one is to pack anything to-day," she said firmly. "I want Dot to go into town with a message for Miss Florence. And Meg must practice on the piano half an hour at least. This afternoon we're going to take Aunt Polly driving. After she goes home there will be plenty for all of us to do to get ready."

Miss Florence Davis was the dressmaker who often came to the house to make clothes for the

Rh Blossom children, and Dot set off presently for her house, carrying a note to her. Miss Florence had no telephone. She said she wasn't home long enough to answer it. But she always left a slip of paper pinned to her door to tell people at whose house she was sewing, and her customers were used to going about the town till they found her.

"She says she can come," reported Dot when she returned from her errand. "She can give you four days, Mother. Where are the boys?"

Mother Blossom looked at her small daughter and sighed.

"I thought you knew Sam painted the fence last night," she said mildly.

"I did, but I forgot," explained Dot, trying to fold over a pleat so that the vivid streaks of green paint would not show. "I guess I kind of brushed up against it, Mother."

Usually when Aunt Polly went home the four little Blossoms were disconsolate, but the next morning they saw her to the station quite cheerfully. Were they not going to Brookside themselves exactly one week from that day?

38 "Now we must fly around and get ready," announced Bobby, when they returned to the house. Bobby had a great trick of remembering speeches he had heard older folk make.

"Indeed then and you must," agreed Norah, who was sweeping the porch. "Your mother wants Dot in the sewing room. Miss Florence is ready to try on. And, Bobby, it's sorry I am, but we're out of soap."

It was rather a long walk to the grocery store, and Bobby didn't think that going for soap promised one bit of excitement. Neither did Meg want to practice the piano scales that one day were to make her a good musician. Norah knew something of what they were thinking.

"You'll both be helping your mother to get ready to go," she said earnestly and kindly. "I've got extra washing to do, for all your clothes must be clean. And if Meg's going to stop learning music every time a new plan comes up, she'll grow up to be terrible ignorant of lots of things."

"All right, I'm going," said Bobby quickly.


text:
Page:Four Little Blossoms at Brookside Farm.djvu/47

Rh "An' you'll be through by the time I get back, Meg. Then I guess we can pack the toys."

Twaddles, left alone, wandered up to the sewing room.

"Hello, Twaddles," said Miss Florence pleasantly. "Have you come up to see what pretty dresses Dot is going to have? And what is this I hear about every one going to Brookside?"

"We're going to see Aunt Polly," explained Twaddles. "And, Mother, can we take toys? Bobby's all ready to pack 'em as soon as he gets back."

"If you don't pack something pretty soon, the house won't hold you," observed Mother Blossom, smiling. "You see, Twaddles dear, Mother doesn't believe you will need many toys at Brookside. There will be so many wonderful new out-of-door things for you to play with. Suppose we say that each of you may choose the two things you are fondest of. That won't make so much to carry."

So that was settled, and when Bobby came back from town and Meg had finished practicing her scales and Dot's three new dresses had all

"I think we ought to take the things Aunt Polly gave us," announced Meg. "They're new, and we haven't played with them much. She might think we didn't like 'em if we left them at home."

"All right, we will," decided Bobby. "And I'll take my ball and bat. Guess I won't break Aunt Polly's windows. There must be lots of room on a farm."

"I'm going to take the paper dolls," said Meg. "I'm pretty sure Aunt Polly will have books to read, so that's all right. What you going to take, Dot?"

"Geraldine and Tottie-Fay and the trunk," was the prompt response.

"That's three," Meg reminded her. "Mother said we could each have two. I tell you—you don't need the trunk; just take Geraldine's new clothes."

"All right," acquiesced Dot briefly.

Tottie-Fay was an old dollie, but dearly loved,

 and, as Father Blossom said when he heard that she was going to Brookside, no one could need a change of air more.

"I'm going to carry my kiddie-car," declared Twaddles serenely.

The others protested that the kiddie-car wouldn't go in the trunk; that there would be no pavement on which to ride it; that Twaddles should take a smaller toy.

Twaddles listened politely and set his obstinate little chin firmly. He meant to take the kiddie-car.

"We'll express it," said Father Blossom kindly that night. "I'm going to send a porch swing up and a Oh, my goodness, I almost told you. And it is a surprise!"

"What is it?" cried the four little Blossoms eagerly. "Tell us, Daddy! Ah, do! Please!"

"It can be a surprise for Aunt Polly," suggested Meg artfully. "Won't you tell us, Daddy?"

"No. I like surprises that are surprises," asserted Father Blossom. "Now, not another

42 word does any one get out of me on this subject. Not a word."

The next few days were very busy ones; but at last two trunks were brought down and placed in the hall, and Mother Blossom made lists and packed and explained her plans to Meg and Bobby, who, as the oldest, could be expected to remember.

"All the stockings are here, dear, right in this tray," Mother Blossom would say. "And I'm putting Bobby's blouses in this trunk. You are sure you will remember so that Aunt Polly needn't be bothered in case I don't get both trunks unpacked for you?"

Meg was sure she could remember.

"Where's Twaddles?" asked Mother Blossom the last afternoon, when she was putting in the very final things. "I haven't seen him since lunch time. Dot, do you know where he went?"

"I think he's watching Sam give Philip a bath," volunteered Bobby. "He likes the smell of that dog soap, Mother."

"I can't say I do," said Mother Blossom


text:
Page:Four Little Blossoms at Brookside Farm.djvu/51

Rh frankly. "It is strongly carbolic. Go and call him in, will you, Bobby?"

Bobby found Twaddles blissfully watching the shivering Philip enduring a last rinsing after his bath. Sam liked to keep him clean, and he said that because a dog had a broken leg was no reason why he shouldn't be washed.

"Mother says for you to come in," Bobby told his brother. "It's time to get ready for supper. Gee, that soap does smell, doesn't it?"

"I like it," Twaddles affirmed, sniffing luxuriously. "I wish we took baths with that kind."

Mother Blossom sent him to the bathroom to wash his face and hands and she brushed his hair for him herself.

"What is that I keep smelling?" she asked once or twice, "Oh, the carbolic dog-soap. Twaddles, I do wish you wouldn't handle it so much."

"Who's been to the drug store?" said Father Blossom, when they sat down to supper. "Phew! I smell carbolic, strong."

"Philip had a bath," explained Twaddles uneasily. "Perhaps you smell it, Daddy."


text:
Page:Four Little Blossoms at Brookside Farm.djvu/52

44 "Twaddles means the soap," giggled Meg. "You can't smell a bath, silly."

Father Blossom laid down his carving knife and fork.

"I can't stand that," he declared positively. "Twaddles, you needn't tell me just handling a soapy dog is responsible for the whiffs of carbolic I'm getting. What is that in your pocket?"

A dark wet stain was slowly spreading in the square little pocket of the blouse Twaddles wore.

"I—I saved a piece," he stammered. "I thought Spotty, Aunt Polly's dog, ought to have some. It's awful healthy for dogs, Daddy. Sam says so."

Father Blossom had to laugh.

"I don't doubt it," he admitted. "But that's no reason why we should have to smell it. Wrap it up and put it away if you like for Spotty. And then come back and we'll see if we can finish supper in peace."

[Joseph Glover Baldwin was born in Virginia, near Winchester, in 1815. In early manhood he went into the lower South, finally settling in Sumter County, Alabama. He practiced law in Alabama, with some political recognition, until he moved in 1854 to California. In 1858 he was elected to the supreme court of California, but resigned the position after three years and returned to the practice of law. He died in San Francisco in 1864. He obtains his position in literature through two volumes: the humorous sketches, originally contributed to the Southern Literary Messenger, published in book form in 1853 as "Flush Times in Alabama and Mississippi," and a volume entitled "Party Leaders," published in 1855, in which he sketched with considerable ability the careers of several prominent political leaders in the South.]

And what history of that halcyon period, ranging from the year of grace 1835 to 1837, that golden era when shinplasters were the sole currency, when bank bills were "as thick as autumn leaves in Vallombrosa," and credit was a franchise—what history of those times would be complete that left out the name of Ovid Bolus? As well write the biography of Prince Hal and forbear all mention of Falstaff. In law phrase the thing would be a "deed without a name," and void; a most unpardonable casus omissus. . ..

I have had a hard time of it in endeavoring to assign to Bolus his leading vice. I have given up the task in despair, but I have essayed to designate that one which gave him, in the end, most celebrity. I am aware that it is invidious to make comparisons and to give preeminence to one over other rival qualities and gifts, where all have high claims to distinction; but then, the stern justice of criticism in this case requires a discrimination which to be intelligible and definite

 must be relative and comparative. I therefore take the responsibility of saying, after due reflection, that, in my opinion, Bolus's reputation stood higher for lying than for anything else; and in thus assigning preeminence to this poetic property, I do it without any desire to derogate from other brilliant characteristics belonging to the same general category, which have drawn the wondering notice of the world.

Some men are liars from interest; not because they have no regard for truth, but because they have less regard for it than for gain. Some are liars from vanity; because they would rather be well thought of by others than have reason for thinking well of themselves. Some are liars from a sort of necessity, which overbears, by the weight of temptation, the sense of virtue. Some are enticed away by allurements of pleasure or seduced by evil example and education. Bolus was none of these; he belonged to a higher department of the fine arts and to a higher class of professors of this sort of belles-lettres. Bolus was a natural liar, just as some horses are natural pacers, and some dogs natural setters. What he did in that walk was from the irresistible promptings of instinct and a disinterested love of art. His genius and his performances were free from the vulgar alloy of interest or temptation. Accordingly, he did not labor a lie. He lied with a relish; he lied with a coming appetite, growing with what it fed on; he lied from the delight of invention and the charm of fictitious narrative. It is true he applied his art to the practical purposes of life, but in so far did he glory the more in it, just as an ingenious machinist rejoices that his invention, while it has honored science, has also supplied a common want.

Bolus's genius for lying was encyclopedical; it was what German criticism calls many-sided. It embraced all subjects without distinction or partiality. It was equally good upon all, "from grave to gay, from lively to severe."

 Bolus's lying came from his greatness of soul and his comprehensiveness of mind. The truth was too small for him. Fact was too dry and commonplace for the fervor of his genius. Besides, great as was his memory,—for he even remembered the outlines of his chief lies,—his invention was still larger. He had a great contempt for history and historians. He thought them tame and timid cobblers mere tinkers on other peoples' wares; simple parrots and magpies of other men's sayings or doings; borrowers of and acknowledged debtors for others' chattels, got without skill; they had no separate estate in their ideas; they were bailees of goods which they did not pretend to hold by adverse title; buriers of talents in napkins, making no usury; barren and unprofitable nonproducers in the intellectual vineyard—nati consumere fruges.

He adopted a fact occasionally to start with, but, like a Sheffield razor and the crude ore, the workmanship, polish, and value were all his own. A Tibet shawl could as well be credited to the insensate goat that grew the wool, as the author of a fact that Bolus honored with his artistical skill could claim to be the inventor of the story. . ..

There was nothing narrow, sectarian, or sectional in Bolus's lying. It was, on the contrary, broad and catholic. It had no respect to times or places. It was as wide, illimitable, as elastic and variable, as the air he spent in giving it expression. It was a generous, gentlemanly, whole-souled faculty. It was often employed on occasions of thrift, but no more and no more zealously on these than on others of no profit to himself. He was an egotist, but a magnificent one; he was not a liar be cause an egotist, but an egotist because a liar. He usually made himself the hero of the romantic exploits and adventures he narrated; but this was not so much to exalt himself as because it was more convenient to his art. He had nothing malignant or invidious in his nature. If he exalted himself,

 it was seldom or never to the disparagement of others, unless, indeed, those others were merely imaginary persons or too far off to be hurt. He would as soon lie for you as for himself. It was all the same, so there was something doing in his line of business, except on those cases in which his necessities required to be fed at your expense.

He did not confine himself to mere lingual lying; one tongue was not enough for all the business he had on hand. He acted lies as well. Indeed, sometimes his very silence was a lie. He made nonentity fib for him, and performed wondrous feats by a "masterly inactivity." . ..

In lying, Bolus was not only a successful but he was a very able practitioner. Like every other eminent artist he brought all his faculties to bear upon his art. Though quick of perception and prompt of invention, he did not trust himself to the inspirations of his genius for improvising a lie when he could well premeditate one. He deliberately built up the substantial masonry, relying upon the occasion and its accessories chiefly for embellishment and collateral supports, as Burke excogitated the more solid parts of his great speeches and left unprepared only the illustrations and fancy work. . ..

Bolus's manner was, like every truly great man's, his own. It was excellent. He did not come blushing up to a lie, as some otherwise very passable liars do, as if he was making a mean compromise between his guilty passion or morbid vanity and a struggling conscience. He and it were on very good terms—at least, if there was no affection between the couple, there was no fuss in the family; or, if there were any scenes or angry passages, they were reserved for strict privacy and never got out. My own opinion is that he was as destitute of the article as an ostrich. Thus he came to his work bravely, cheerfully, and composedly. The delights of composition, invention, and narration did not fluster his style or agitate his delivery. He knew
