These look to be typos:
only waiting for some young ofhcer to invite them to take
Afterwards his hand ran of its own accord along the paper, reeling off sentence after sentence, barely intelligible to himse.
but consoled ourselves with the act that at the end of it there was to be a day’s halt.
“Have you been?” one would ask, indicating by a glance the building in which the Zemstvo ofhces were housed.
Alongside the droshky ran Leonid and Const antine.
I pictured the bayonet charge, the carnage. And if beaten oft, it will all be for nothing!
He would mark own a spider which, having woven his clever rainbow-like web,
but I felt it was becoming more difhcult with every sitting.
When I came to myself she was standing before me, eady dressed in her own clothes.
“And I had only time to cross myself when —look! —my ration-bag had two holes in the very bottom of it, and biscuit crumbs began to dribble out.” It had a bite of them and went.

Thanks! I’ve fixed these in two commits, one for the editorial changes, and one for transcription issues.
The only thing you noted that I haven’t changed is “And I had only time to cross…”. It’s not obvious that this is unintentional.
