Rip’s sole domestic adherent was his dog Wolf, who was as much hen-pecked as his master; for Dame Van Winkle regarded them as companions in idleness, and even looked upon Wolf with an evil eye, as the cause of his master’s going so often astray. True it is, in all points of spirit befitting an honourable dog, he was as courageous an animal as ever scoured the woods—but what courage can withstand the evil-doing and all-besetting terrors of a woman’s tongue? The moment Wolf entered the house his chest fell, his tail drooped to the ground or curled between his legs, he sneaked about with a gallows air, casting many a sidelong glance at Dame Van Winkle, and at the least flourish of a broomstick or ladle he would fly to the door with yelping precipitation.

For anyone with a similar problem, Waterfox at least (and I'd guess browsers generally) use extension dictionaries, not the OS/GUI default. Adding an extension dictionary allowed me to escape from the single en-US supplied with Waterfox.spot wrote: Mon Jun 08, 2026 2:32 am A further check on s/z variants: recognize recognise, the s is spellchecked as an error.
