There it stood, slick and cold, Unhospitable as ever a house was.
"Over Prairie Trails"
Frederick Philip Grove
For a few months the Cherokees invariably discomfited their invaders, destroying their bands as soon as they were newly formed, and treating them as common robbers; but, being farmers, they could not fight and cultivate their ground at the same time, and they now thought of abandoning so Unhospitable a land; the more so as, discovering that the Cherokees were more than a match for them in the field, a system of incendiarism and plunder was resorted to, which proved more disastrous to the Cherokees than the previous open warfare.
"Monsieur Violet"
Frederick Marryat
Norman sent Red Shandy to the outer walls to learn the mission of the party, for visitors seldom came to this inaccessible and Unhospitable fortress; and he well knew that no party of a dozen knights would venture with hostile intent within the clutches of his great band of villains.
