EDNOTE. My assumption is that it refers, as you suggest, to the triplets she is carrying. Other ideas?

'His wife's lover played the triple viol'. (Ada, II, 5, p 301).
Does anyone have a suggestion for what Lucette means by "triple viol"? Ada, II, 5 (p301 in Penguin Ed).
The viol is probably here the short name for the viola da gamba? in that family, there can be a "double bass", which is a bigger bass viol. But what is a triple viol? Is it a pun with the "driblets" that comes before? Can somebody explain?
thank you,
