"If you will have it in plain language," said the judge, "the whole thing was settled, and the usual accompaniments were in full swing." "Do you mean to suggest that my friend Major Kent was kissing Miss King?"
A little examination into the character of these early "orchestras" may serve to throw light on the nature of the instrumental accompaniments in Poliziano's "Orfeo."

Henry and his comrades helped nearly all that night.
Having adopted this resolution, he did not waste time in idle whining, but prepared to encounter all the inconveniences and perils of a long voyage across the deep; aggravated, unspeakably, by the accompaniments of a wife and six young children, and hampered by the scanty means which remained to him amidst this wreck of his hopes of happiness at home.
The lesser of the two palaces the one on the right hand as you ascend the street of San Simone coming from the cathedral is more decorated to-day than any other in Lucca.
