The first lines meme

Courtesy of several people, the first lines of my current Works In Progress:

“John Donne was a liar,” the painter muttered under his breath at his first sight of his client. - from "Bearer of Burdens"

Ten years is long enough for people to get suspicious.- from A Demon Divided (AKA "The Second Demon Book")

Helen put away the dishes and stole a glance between the kitchen curtains. - from "Fog Nights."

Katrina paused before leaving the shuttle.- from the as-yet-unnamed "sequel" to "Hirasol."

On maps, even the sepia-toned ones with “Here Be Dragons” in the margins, the land of Darkwood looks like an insignificant dot.- from "Snow, Blood and Dark Wood" (AKA "the novel I'll work on if I get discouraged about finding a home for the First Demon Book.")
