Suspended from the ceiling hung a wooden cage, confining a mocking bird that had become acclimated to the death-dealing atmosphere of tobacco smoke, alcoholic fumes and poetry.
The shadow of constraint was fast slipping from them both. "You know you enjoy it," he insisted, laughing naturally. "No, I don't enjoy it at all," she retorted indignantly. "I'll not taste another until you are ready to do your part.... I've forgotten, Garry; did the serpent eat the fruit he recommended?" "He was too wise, not being acclimated in Eden."
We are used to marvels here, sir," he continued. "Would you care for anything more, sir?" "No, Memnon," said I. "I have fared sumptuously my ah my appetite is somewhat taken away by all these tremendous things." "I will have an appetite up for you, if you wish," he replied, simply, as if it were the easiest thing in the world. "No, thank you," said I. "I think I'll wait until I am acclimated.
A great many persons from the long voyages around Cape Horn arrived, sick with the scurvy, owing to want of vegetables at sea, most of whose systems underwent a change to become acclimated to the country; some seriously and others more mildly. It was thought it would be a good thing to do to erect a hospital for the benefit of the public and those arriving sick.
At this time Spain believed her navy to be more than a match for that of the United States, and that, with nearly two hundred thousand veteran, acclimated troops on the island of Cuba, she was in a position to resist successfully what she termed the "insolent demands of the Yankee pigs."

I shall get acclimated, of course. I know that. I was in Paris for Christmas not because I wanted to go, but because the few friends I have left there felt that I needed a change, and clinched the matter by thinking that they needed me. Besides I wanted to get packages to the English boys who were here in September, and it was easier to do it from Paris than from here.
It had ceased to thaw much, however; and the mean of the thermometer was not many degrees above zero. Notwithstanding this low range of the mercury, the men found that they were fast getting acclimated, and that they could endure a much greater intensity of cold than they had previously supposed possible.
They are suited for it and acclimated to it. It is also all right for equestrian statues of generals in the Civil War.
Give me a wildness whose glance no civilization can endure, as if we lived on the marrow of koodoos devoured raw. There are some intervals which border the strain of the wood-thrush, to which I would migrate, wild lands where no settler has squatted; to which, methinks, I am already acclimated.
