This is one I think is from the Sigil forums, use to find and join split paras:
Search
Code:
</p>\s*<p[^>]+>([a-z])
replace
Have it as a saved search in ebook editor.
Using the OP example this is the result.

<p class="calibre1">And Alandra looking at him as he came into the room, found that although she had not wanted to allow her grandfather one courtesy, she was getting to her feet. </p>
<p class="calibre1">Silently, she watched and waited as he came closer. And when he stopped and for long seconds stared at her, she saw deep frown lines groove on his forehead. But she had no word to say to him, and he none for her as he turned to the man who, keeping his eyes steady on the two of them, had now moved from his position by the door, and was coming in their direction. </p>

I'm sure there are detailed old threads but writing the appropirate search expression for the forum search engine has me beat
