The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Wife, et al by Anton Chekhov: disciplinary battalion. Yes. . . . And now, look, it's the same

with me last Thursday, and he told me about some landowner. . . .
Yes. . . . They took the wall of his barn to pieces at night and
carried off twenty sacks of rye. When the gentleman heard that
such a crime had been committed, he sent a telegram to the
Governor and another to the police captain, another to the
investigating magistrate! . . . Of course, every one is afraid of
a man who is fond of litigation. The authorities were in a
flutter and there was a general hubbub. Two villages were
searched."
