Translation:
XIV.
— Well what, sweetheart? No, brother, my pink beauty, called Dunyasha... — but, looking at the face of Rostov, Ilyin shut up. He saw that his hero and commander was found really in other lines of thoughts.
Rostov viciously turned back to Ilyin and, not answering him, with fast steps directed to the village.
— I will show them, I will assign them, robbers, — he spoke about himself.
Alpatych in a floating step, so that only not to run, trotting, barely caught up with Rostov.
— What decision have you deigned to accept? — he said, catching up to him. Rostov stopped and, reaping his fists, suddenly menacingly moved to Alpatych.
— Solution? What solution? Old grunt! — he shouted at him. — What have you watched? Ah? The men riot, but you do not know to cope? You yourself are a traitor. I know you, skin letting go with all... — and, as if fearing to squander in vain the supply of his fervor, he left Alpatych and quickly went forward. Alpatych, suppressing the feeling of insults, in a floating step kept up behind Rostov and continued to inform him of his considerations. He spoke that the men were found in rigidity that in a real moment it was unwise to oppose them, they had no military commanders, and whether it would not be better to send for a commander.
— I will give them military command... I will oppose them, — pointlessly sentenced Nikolay, gasping for breath from unreasonable, animal anger and need to pour out this malice. Not thinking of what he will do, in unconscious, quick, decisive steps he moved to the crowd, and the nearer he moved to it, the more felt Alpatych that his imprudent act may produce good results. That same felt the men of the crowd, looking at his fast and solid gait and decisive, frowning face.
After this as the hussars entered in the village and Rostov passed to the princess, in the crowd happened confusion and strife. Some men began to speak that these arrived were Russian, and how they would be hurt by how they did not release the young lady. Dron was of this same opinion; but only as he expressed it, so Karp and other men attacked the former headman.
— You have been going by the world for how many years? — shouted Karp at him. — You are all alone! You dig out the jug, take it away, you ravage our homes, or not?
— It was said, the order was not to ride from houses, so that the blue gunpowder will not take it out, — it is all whipped! — shouted another.
— It was your son’s turn, but you suppose in gladness they pitied, — suddenly fast began talking a little old man, attacking Dron, — but prepares Vanka to be shaved. Oh, he will die!
— Some will die!
— I against the world will not object, — spoke Dron.
— Some do not object, the belly grows!..
Two long peasants said this. Only as Rostov, accompanied by Ilyin, Lavrushka and Alpatych, came up to the crowd, Karp, laying down fingers behind his sash, a little smiling, got out forward. Dron oppositely called for the rear ranks, and the crowd moved tighter.
— Hey! Who in you is the headman here? — shouted Rostov, with a quick step coming up to the crowd.
— Headman? What are you?.. — asked Karp.
Yet he did not have time to finish, as the hat flew off from him and his head dangled to the side from a strong blow.
— Hats down, traitors! — shouted the full blooded voice of Rostov. — Where is the headman? — he shouted with a frantic voice.
— Headman, headman calls out... Dron Zaharych, you, — heard somewhere a hastily submissive voice, and hats began to taken from heads.
— We cannot be rioting, we observe orders, — spoke Karp, and a few voices in the back in that same instant began talking suddenly:
— How old men decided, many of you are superiors...
— Speaking?.. Riot!.. Robbers! Traitors! — pointless, not in his voice yelled Rostov, grabbing behind the gate for Karp. — Tie him up, tie up! — he shouted, although there was no one to tie him up besides Lavrushka and Alpatych.
Lavrushka however ran up to Karp and grabbed him back behind his hand.
— Order to call ours from under the mountains? — he shouted.
Alpatych turned to the men, called two by names, so that to tie Karp up. The men dutifully came out from the crowd and began to get loose.
— The headman is where? — shouted Rostov.
Dron, with a frowned and pale face, got out from the crowd.
— You are the headman? Tie him up, Lavrushka, — shouted Rostov, as if this order could not meet obstacles. And really two more peasants began to tie Dron up, who, as if helping them, stripped off from himself his sash and gave it to them.
— But you all listen to me, — Rostov turned to the men: — now march by the houses, and so that I do not hear your voices.
— What but, we have not made any grudges. We only mean nonsense. Only have done nonsense... I already told how it is disorder, — was heard a voice, reproaching each other.
— Here I the same spoke to you, — said Alpatych, marching to their right. — No good, guys!
— Our stupidity, Yakov Alpatych, — answered a voice, and the crowd immediately again had become dispersed and crumbled by the village.
Two related peasants led to the master's yard. Two drunk peasants went behind them.
— Oh, I'll see to you! — spoke one of them, turning to Karp.
—Can’t you speak so with gentlemen? You thought what? Fool, — confirmed another, — A right fool!
In two hours carts were standing in the courtyard of the Bogucharovo home. The men lively carried out and stacked in carts the master’s things, and Dron, by the wish of Princess Marya released from the locker where he was locked up, stood up in the courtyard, ordering the men.
— You not so badly place hers, — spoke one of the peasants, a tall person with a round, smiling face, taking from his hands the maid casket. — Because it costs too much money. For what again did you throw it here or under a rope — but it rubs. I do not love it. But so that all is honest, by law. Here so that, under the matting, and covered up by hay, here is important.
— See those books, the books, — said a different peasant, carrying out the library cabinets of Prince Andrey. — Do not cling! But heavy, guys, the books are healthy!
— Yes, they wrote, not taking a walk! — winking, said a tall, chubby peasant, pointing at the lexicons, lying from above.
—————
Rostov, not wishing to tie his acquainted princess, did not go to her, but stayed at the village, expecting her departure. waiting for the departure of the crews of Princess Marya from the home, Rostov sat down on horseback and before the way, busy with our troops, at twelve versts from Bogucharovo, on horseback brought her. At Yankov, in the inn courtyard, he forgave from her respectfully, for the first time allowing himself to kiss her hand.
— How you are not ashamed, — blushing was the response of him to Princess Marya’s expression of thanks for her salvation (as she called his act), — every camp would have done the same. If only we would have accounted for fighting with men, we would not have allowed a so long away enemy, — he spoke, somewhat ashamed and trying to change the conversation. — I am only happy that I have had the case to become acquainted with you. Farewell, princess, I want your happiness and consolation, and want to meet with you in more happy conditions. Should you not want to force me to blush, please do not thank me.
But the princess, if not thanking with more words, thanked him with all the expression of her shining gratitude and tenderness of face. She could not believe him in how she was not to thank him. The opposite, for her it was undoubtedly that if he would not have been, then she for sure would have died from the rioters and from the French; that he so that to save her, exposed himself to very obvious and terrible dangers; and still it was undoubtedly that he was a person with a high and noble soul, who was able to understand her position and grief. His kind and honest eyes with protruding in them tears in that time, as she herself cried and talked with him about her loss, did not exit from her imagination.
When she forgave with him and was left alone, Princess Marya suddenly felt in her eyes tears, and here really not for the first time to her presented a strange question, whether or not she loved him?
By the road farther to Moscow, despite that the position of the princess was not happy, Dunyasha, traveling with her in the carriage, not a time noticed that the princess, leaning out at the window of the carriage, for some reason happily and sadly smiled.
"Well what the same, if I would have fallen in love with him?" thought Princess Marya.
How ashamed she was to admit to herself that she first fell in love with a man, which, maybe, never would fall in love with her, she consoled herself with the thought that no one would ever recognize this and that she will not be to blame, should she to the end of her life not say to anyone about this love of whom she loved for the first and last time.
Sometimes she remembered his looks, his participation, his words, and to her it seemed that happiness was not impossible. And then Dunyasha noticed that she smilingly looked at the window of the carriage.
"And he was needed to come to Bogucharovo, and at that very moment!" thought Princess Marya. —"And it was needed for his sister to refuse Prince Andrey!" And in all this Princess Marya saw the will of Providence.
The impression, produced in Rostov by Princess Marya, was very pleasant. When he remembered her, he became funny, and when his friends, upon learning about was with his adventure at Bogucharovo, joked with him that he, riding for hay, picked up one of the richest brides in Russia, Rostov was angered. He was angered because of how the idea about marriage was pleasant for him, the meek Princess Marya with the huge fortune, not once against his commitment came to his head. For himself personally Nikolay could not want a wife better than Princess Marya: marriage to her would make the happiness of the countess — his mother and would mend the affairs of his father; and even — Nikolay felt this — would make the happiness of Princess Marya.
But Sonya? And this word? And from this Rostov was angered, when they joked about Princess Bolkonskaya.
Location: Bogucharovo, the tavern, road to Moscow
Mentioned: Russia (and Russians), Commune (not capitalized in Dole, Maude, and Mandelker. village in Briggs and Bell. village and mir in Garnett. village and commune in Dunnigan. community in Pevear and Volokhonsky.), the army, French
Pevear and Volokhonsky Notes: Rostov, similar to his righteous class action against Mitenka, becomes angry with the peasants and threatens Alpatych, calling him a traitor.
"Nikolai muttered senselessly, choking with unreasonable animal anger and the need to vent that anger."
There is division among the peasants with Karp represending one side and Dron representing the more loyal to the Bolkonskys side. Karp questions Dron's loyalty to his class. Rostov has Lavrushka bind Karp and Dron and threatens that the army is behind them and will come for them. The peasants disperse and cooperate. Dron is then freed thanks to Marya and helps direct the peasants in their loading of the Bolkonskys' goods.
The peasants speak in almost sing-song and proverbial manner throughout. Line break after "pointing to the fat dictionaries that lay on top."
Rostov tells Marya that "any policeman would have done the same. If we only had to make war on muzhiks, we wouldn't have let the enemy get so far"
Marya falls in love with him. '"And his sister had to refuse Prince Andrei!" And in all of that Princess Marya saw the will of Providence."
Rostov has similar feelings. "But Sonya? And the word he had given? That was what made Rostov angry when they teased him about Princess Bolkonsky."

(also many peasants, including drunken ones, an old man, it is not clear if this is the same old man with the stick from earlier, and his mentioned son Vanka, as in Wiener, Dole, Mandelker, and Dunnigan. "Vania" in Bell. Also a tall one, another (perhaps) tall one with a round face, and a chambermaid that are helping pack.)
Abridged Versions: Line break after "the lexicons which were lying on top" in Wiener. Line break in the same place in Bell, Dole, Maude, Garnett, Edmonds, Briggs, and Dunnigan.
End of chapter 18 in Bell.
Gibian: Chapter 14: line break after "dictionaries that were on the top."
Fuller: Karp and Dron remain cut, shortening the confrontation with the peasants, especially after the conversation with Alpatych, significantly. The second half of the chapter (no line break in Fuller) is preserved save the final line about Sonya. Followed by a line break.
Komroff: We skip the Alpatych conversation and go to the confrontation with Dron (Karp is not here). The last part before the line break (preserved here) with the conversations between the peasants while loading and packing is removed. The second half of the chapter appears basically preserved. Followed by a line break.
Kropotkin: Chapter 10: No line break in the middle of the chapter. The conversations between the peasants while loading and packing is removed. Maria's inner thoughts are shortened significantly in the second half of the chapter.
Bromfield: We immediately move into the confrontation with Dronushka, which plays out a little differently as Dron talks back to Nikolai so Nikolai strikes him several times and goes after the ginger-haired peasant. Chapter 6 ends after Nikolai kisses Marya's hand and takes leave of her, so we don't get the reflections of the two characters that we get in the latter versions.
Simmons: Chapter 14: the Ilyin part early in the chapter is cut, as and Alpatych is severely reduced. The discussion Dron has with the peasants is removed. Line break after "directing the men" with a lot of the packing cut.
Additional Notes: Even Edmonds and Dunnigan, who have almost no notes, note that a marriage between Nikolai and Marya would have been illegal if Natasha and Andrei had married.
Hadji Murat (Alpin): Page 73: “Nikolai was certain that everybody thieved. He knew that now it would be necessary to punish the commissariat officials, and decided to send them all off to the army, but he always knew that this would not prevent those who replaced the dismissed men from doing the same. The nature of officials was that they stole, and it was his duty to punish them and, no matter how tired he might be of it, he conscientiously carried out this duty.”
The Forged Coupon (Dover Thrift): Page 139: “Peter Nikolaevich called in the police, and making an appeal to all the authorities, sent his men to track the thieves. But the horses were not to be found.
“Wicked people,” said Peter Nikolaevich. “How could they! I was always so kind to them. Now, wait! Brigands! Brigands the whole lot of them. I will no longer be kind.”....
Yarmolinsky: Page 172: “At several points the theory was at variance with actuality. The village commune was not a manifestation of the Slavic folk genius and the survival remaining from a hoary past that Herzen believed it to be. The great age of the obshchina was under suspicion in his own lifetime, and the opinion now prevails that the institution was created by the State for fiscal purposes no earlier than the age of Catherine II.”
