     Взошедши в переднюю, увидел он на кожаном запачканном диване лакея своего Ивана, который, лёжа на спине, плевал в потолок и попадал довольно удачно в одно и то же место.

     Vzošedši v perednjuju, uvidel on na kožanom zapačkannom divane lakeja svojevo Ivana, kotoryj, ljóža na spine, pleval v potolok i popadal dovolʹno udačno v odno i to že mesto.

     In the vestibule he saw his valet Ivan stretched on the leather couch and amusing himself by spitting at the ceiling, which he did very cleverly, hitting every time the same spot.
