    “It was the egret, flying out of the lemon grove, that started it”, from Mary Stewart’s The Moonspinners.

      Lovely first line, Liz! Mary Stewart was very good at that. Also Penmarric by Susan Howatch which went something like: “I was ten years old when I first saw Penmarric and twenty years old when I first saw Janna Roslyn but my reaction to them both was identical; I wanted them.” Hard to beat that!
