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!
