"Nero Wolfe, behind his desk, sat glaring at the caller in the red leather chair."
Rex Stout - Three for the Chair
Not a great first line. Not that surprising that Wolfe is glaring. It's the second line that makes the reader smile a bit and establishes the tone that fans of Nero Wolfe novels come to expect.
"I was swiveled with my back to my desk, ready with my notebook, not glaring."
