Introductions
version 1 by Emily Short
Section: Spacing introductions and segues
The segue text will be printed after the introduction of the first item and before the introduction of the second; by default, there is no paragraph break anywhere here, which gives us maximum freedom to add our own. If, for instance, we wanted to produce the text
Fred is prowling near the fireplace, looking morose. He's an old friend of yours, but lately you've found him more and more difficult to take: all his little tics -- impatience, rudeness, tendency to interrupt -- have grown more pronounced since Lisa left. Some of your social circle now act as though he weren't there at all, as though his stammered, tactless commentary were no more than background noise from a radio.
Fred is no favorite with Doctor Pearson, either, which is why you're surprised to see the old man sitting serenely in the leather recliner, sipping a vodka gimlet.
we could create this effect by putting the paragraph break inside the segue, thus:
