And it may be confessed between ourselves, between me and my readers, who in these introductory chapters may be supposed to be looking back together over past things, that the Dean was from the first determined that Lord George should be his son-in-law.

She avoided such thoughts by telling the woman drinking coffee at the counter some jovial comment of how at this corner of the room the scent was a combination of soap and bleach blended with those of tortas and tacos. It was an introductory comment of the environment similar to parties experiencing it, and as she wished it, it invited a smile of that one individual.
This paper was prepared and delivered at several of our universities as introductory to a course of five lectures which insisted on the value of literature in common life some hearers thought with an exaggerated emphasis and attempted to maintain the thesis that all genuine, enduring literature is the outcome of the time that produces it, is responsive to the general sentiment of its time; that this close relation to human life insures its welcome ever after as a true representation of human nature; and that consequently the most remunerative method of studying a literature is to study the people for whom it was produced.

The last, one of his finest, with certainly his finest introductory adagio, is probably the last symphony he wrote.
I neither praise nor blame this class of story; I merely cite the play as one in which we plunge straight into the crisis, without any introductory period of tranquillity. The interest of Mr. Landon's play lay almost wholly in the story. There was just enough character in it to keep the story going, so to speak.
