But when he got out of the train at his station and by the dim light from the station windows saw his one-eyed coachman, Ignat, with his coat-collar turned up, and his sledge with its carpet-lined back, his horses with their tied-up tails, and the harness with its rings and tassels, and when Ignat, while still putting the luggage into the sledge, began telling him the village news: how the contractor had come, and Pava had calved, – Levin felt that the confusion was beginning to clear away and his shame and self-dissatisfaction to pass.
Ma quando uscì dalla stazione e riconobbe Ignat il cocchiere, orbo di un occhio, col bavero del gabbano rialzato; quando, nella luce incerta che filtrava dalle finestre della stazione, vide la slitta coi tappeti, i suoi cavalli con le code legate, le bardature ad anelli e i fiocchi, e quando Ignat il cocchiere, prima ancora di finire di sistemare i bagagli, prese a raccontargli le novità della campagna: l’arrivo dell’imprenditore, lo sgravo della Pava, egli sentiva che a poco a poco la confusione si diradava, che la vergogna e lo scontento scomparivano.
