I used the following for my Lovecraft books, it seemed to do the job.

Code:

p.newscene2 {
  text-indent:0;
  margin-top:2em;
}

span.dropcap {
  float:left;
  font-size:4.7em;
  line-height:0.8em;
  margin-right:3pt;
  margin-bottom:-0.1em;
}

<p class="newscene2"><span class="dropcap">T</span>he first line</p>

Not the most sophisticated, but was good enough for my first ever book.
