A stranger, ignorant of the Pennsylvania Dutch custom of living in the kitchen and shutting off the "best rooms," to be used in their mustiness and stiff unhomelikeness on Sunday only, would have thought the house temporarily empty. It was forbiddingly and uncompromisingly spick-and-span. A grass-plot, ornamented with a circular flower-bed, extended a short distance on either side of the house.
Thought is the solvent that will make a road for men through Alpine difficulties that seem now unconquerable, that will dissolve those gigantic rocks of custom and tradition that loom so forbiddingly athwart all our further plans.
It was at Natchez that you and those ruffianly boys ran off with Mr. Davidson's boat!" "That's all, your Honor," I remarked. "Take the witness, Mr. Davidson!" "But what right you have to cross-question me, I don't know!" commented Mrs. Daniver, addressing a passing sea-gull, and pulling down the corners of her mouth most forbiddingly.
And I have come across too many dead souls lying so to speak at the foot of high unscaleable places for a merely possible dead body at the bottom of a quarry to strike my sincerity dumb." The cliff-like face of the quarry looked forbiddingly impressive.
A green shade over her eyes connected a blur of nondescript hair with a rather long nose beneath which a pair of pale lips in the glow of the drop-light was rapidly gabbling over some lines in Greek scansion.

It was situated in a kind of basin about eight miles wide by about twenty-two miles long, hemmed in on every side by precipitous mountains, and approached through one of the weirdest, wildest, and most forbiddingly picturesque gorges that it is possible for the mind of man to imagine.
The Beacon hills, on the further side, frown forbiddingly through the intervening northern gale, sweeping southward into the mountain gorge. On a day like this the most ardent lover of Nature could scarcely fail to shrink from her cold, pallid face and colder breath.
Also, instead of following on along the riverside road it opened into, they both wheeled right-about-face and came back. Miss Julia, taking down a shutter to reinstate The Pigeons as a tavern open to customers, noted that the faces of these two were strange to her. Also that they passed her with the barest good-morning, forbiddingly.
I cannot promise very much, but if I can borrow even the smallest of your ships for the journey my spaceboat can't make ... why.... I may be able to do something. Much more than can be done on Darth!" The bearded man looked at his companions. "He seems frank," he said forbiddingly, "and we can lose nothing. We have stopped our journey and are in orbit. We can wait.
"Oh, did you want to git somethin' to eat?" he inquired innocently. "No? That's good. That sheep smell kinder turns my stomach." And throwing the spurs into Bat Wings he loped rapidly toward the summit, scowling forbiddingly in passing at a small boy who was shepherding the stray herd.
