A candle just brought in gradually lit up the study and its familiar details became visible: the stag's horns, the book shelves, the looking-glass, the hot-air aperture of the stove with its brass lid, which had long been in need of repair, his father's couch, the large table on which were an open volume, a broken ash-tray, and an exercise-book in his handwriting.
Кабинет медленно осветился внесенной свечой. Выступили знакомые подробности: оленьи рога, полки с книгами, зеркало печи с отдушником, который давно надо было починить, отцовский диван, большой стол, на столе открытая книга, сломанная пепельница, тетрадь с его почерком.
