How to extract text from HTML using htmlagilitypack for this example?

I want to extract text from an HTML source. I am trying with c # dll and htmlagilitypack.

Source:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td class="title">
      <a onclick="func1">Here 2</a>
    </td>
    <td class="arrow">
      <img src="src1" width="9" height="8" alt="Down">
    </td>
    <td class="percent">
      <span>39%</span>
    </td>
    <td class="title">
      <a onclick="func2">Here 1</a>
    </td>
    <td class="arrow">
      <img src="func3" width="9" height="8" alt="Up">
    </td>
    <td class="percent">
      <span>263%</span>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

How can I get the text here 1 and here 2 from the table?

HtmlDocument htmlDoc = new HtmlDocument();
htmlDoc.LoadHtml("web page string");
var xyz = from x in htmlDoc.DocumentNode.DescendantNodes()
                     where x.Name == "td" && x.Attributes.Contains("class")
                     where x.Attributes["class"].Value == "title"
                     select x.InnerText;

not so pretty but should work

Xpath Version

 HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
 doc.LoadHtml(t);

 //this simply works because InnerText is iterative for all child nodes
 HtmlNodeCollection nodes = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//td[@class='title']");
//but to be more accurate you can use the next line instead
//HtmlNodeCollection nodes = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//td[@class='title']/a");


 string result;
 foreach (HtmlNode item in nodes) 
       result += item.InnerText;

and for the LINQ version, just change the line var Nodes = .. from:

 var Nodes = from x in htmlDoc.DocumentNode.DescendantNodes()
                  where x.Name == "td" && x.Attributes["class"].Value == "title"
                  select x.InnerText;
