CHRS: CP866 2 TZUTC: 0300 TID: hpt/lnx 1.9 2022-06-20 Hi, All! In one story I read this: .... "The face of Hyde sat heavily on his memory. He felt (what was rare to him) a nausea and distaste of life, and in the gloom of his spirits, he seemed to read a menace in the flickering of the firelight on the polished cabinets and the uneasy starting of the shadow on the roof." I saw a strange using of the Infinitive: ....in the gloom of his spirits, he seemed TO READ a menace in the flickering of the firelight... What would happen if I put it without TO: ....in the gloom of his spirits, he seemed READ a menace in the flickering of the firelight... Bye, All!
