The room turned out to be very small. Margarita saw a wide oak bed with rumpled and dirty sheets and a pillow. Among those present, Margarita immediately recognized Azazello, now dressed in a tailcoat and standing at the head of the bed. The naked witch, that same Hella, was sitting on a rug on the floor by the bed, stirring something in a pot from which sulfurous steam was rising. Besides these, there was also in the room, sitting on a high stool in front of a chess table, a gigantic black tomcat, holding a chess knight in his right paw.

And there's much more to see!
