Accommodation had been reserved for Mr. Magon two days before. A hotel porter met them at the door and showed them to the reception desk. Some people were waiting at the desk.
The receptionist gave Mr. Magon a form and asked him to write his name, address, nationality and occupation on it. As Mr. Magon knew Russian well it didn’t take him long to fill in the form. After he had gone through formalities the receptionists gave Mr. Magon the key to his room and a porter showed them to the room. It was a cosy single room on the second floor. The room was not very large but very light. There was a bed, a sofa and a little table for magazines and newspapers in it. Near the sofa there was a lamp. To the left of the door there was a wardrobe. All the furniture in the room was quite modern. Mr. Magon liked the room very much.
They made an appointment for the next morning and Mitin left the hotel.
