First sentence: It was early afternoon on one of those days when winter tries to prolong its reign by mixing snowflakes with the softening rains of early spring; when the sun plays peekaboo with snowdrops and crocuses bursting from thawing ground, and when it is too wet and muddy for the boys to play soccer or roam the neighborhood, and for the girls to play hop-scotch or skip rope.
