     По́сле у́жина, когда́ уе́хали го́сти, он пошё́л к себе́ в ко́мнату и лёг на дива́н: ему́ хоте́лось ду́мать о мона́хе.

     Pósle úžina, kogdá ujéxali gósti, on pošól k sebé v kómnatu i ljog na diván: jemú xotélosʹ dúmatʹ o monáxe.

     After supper, when the visitors had gone, he went to his room and lay down on the sofa: he wanted to think about the monk.
