default 3em—this is too short, and doesn't align with baseline of Line 2
MITIS and Riquet are two tom-cats saved from a litter of five; their mother is an Angora, slate-coloured, with the neck, breast, and tips of the paws white. Mitis has a large head and limbs, and a coat which promises to be Angora and the same colour as his mother’s, a white muzzle, and white underneath his eyes, while his lips and the tip of his nose are bright pink....

the best so far—
[edit]margins—Line 3 looks good with a slight negative margin-bottom=-0.25em; kerning is better with margin-right=0.02em; also formatted with 'uc' instead of typing in all caps
