I think it would be a good law. I understand people enjoy eating while walking when they go on a trip or go to the food market. I am one of them though. But in crowded places, we should stop it to avoid getting our clothes dirty when bumping together (and it getting more make crowd because they would walk slowly) - not sure what you are trying to say here. 2:Do you think it's bad manners to eat while walking? Why? Why not? It depends on the situation. When I was in Japan, I thought it was bad manners to eat while walking anywhere outside, including the food market.

I'm guessing this is from a novel. A tract is a small piece of land, so a tract home is a house on a small piece of land. If you say, for example 'the house no longer stood' it means the house was not there any more. So to say the 'tract no longer stood' doesn't make sense, as surely the land is still there. But I think it might refer to tract as being a term for a housing development, ie many houses. So I think it means that all the other houses have gone, except for one.

''Does anyone fancy a curry?'', meaning would people like to go for a curry.

It's the 'more than' which is the important bit. A simpler example could be '$100 is more than is required to buy a meal at McDonalds'. In your example, the person has great forebearance (restraint), which gave his soldiers the confidence to rebel. This restraint was not usually expected from a military commander.
