Hi, Dallas Hinton!
I read your message from 21.04.2014 21:22

  ak>> -----Beginning of the citation-----
  ak>>     "Here," he said. "We go on through here. The entrance is
  ak>> concealed."     Harry did not ask how Dumbledore knew. He
  ak>> had never seen a wizard work things out like this, simply
  ak>> by looking and touching; but Harry had long since learned
  ak>> that bangs and smoke were more often the marks of
  ak>> ineptitude than expertise. -----The end of the citation-----
  DH>
  ak>> It seems that "things out" is a verb and it has the similar
  ak>> meaning to  "looks".
  DH>
  DH> Actually, the verb is "work", an infinitive with the "to" left
  DH> off.

Ah, I forgot that I had already asked a similar question when I wrote a 
message "Some news from Harry." Well, well, I hope I will not ask it for

Bye, Dallas!
