   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!   
   Alexander Koryagin
