      Он хоте́л взгляну́ть на пры́щик, кото́рый вчера́шнего ве́чера вскочи́л у него́ на носу́; но, к велича́йшему изумле́нию, уви́дел, что у него́ вме́сто но́са соверше́нно гла́дкое ме́сто!
      On xotél vzgljanútʹ na prýščik, kotóryj včerášnevo véčera vskočíl u nevó na nosú; no, k veličájšemu izumléniju, uvídel, što u nevó vmésto nósa soveršénno gládkoje mésto!
      He wanted to have a look at the spot that had come out on his nose the previous evening; but in the place where his nose should have been he saw, to his utter astonishment, a completely smooth space!
