He felt this at the mere sight of Ignat and the horses; but when he had put on the sheepskin coat that had been brought for him and, well wrapped up, had seated himself in the sledge and started homeward, turning over in his mind the orders he would give about the work on the estate, and as he watched the side horse (once a saddle-horse that had been overridden, a spirited animal from the Don), he saw what had befallen him in quite a different light. He felt that he was himself and did not wish to be anyone else.
La sola vista de Ignacio y de sus caballos le había supuesto ya un alivio, y, cuando se puso el tulup que le trajeron, cuando se vio acomodado en el trineo, y los caballos comenzaron a trotar, pensó en las órdenes que debía dar a su llegada, examinó a uno de los corceles, muy veloz, pero que comenzaba ya a perder fuerzas y que había sido en otro tiempo caballo de carreras en el Don, y las cosas comenzaron a manifestarse a sus ojos bajo una nueva luz.
