To increase his misfortune, not a single droshky was to be seen in the street, and so he was obliged to proceed on foot. He wrapped himself up in his cloak, and held his handkerchief to his face as though his nose bled. âBut perhaps it is all only my imagination; it is impossible that a nose should drop off in such a silly way,â he thought, and stepped into a confectioner's shop in order to look into the mirror ...He stepped gingerly up to a mirror and looked.âWhat an infernal face!â he exclaimed, and spat with disgust. âIf there were only something there instead of the nose, but there is absolutely nothing.âHe bit his lips with vexation, left the confectioner's, and resolved, quite contrary to his habit, neither to look nor smile at anyone on the street. Suddenly he halted as if rooted to the spot before a door, where something extraordinary happened. A carriage drew up at the entrance; the carriage door was opened, and a gentleman in uniform came out and hurried up the steps. How great was Kovaloff's terror and astonishment when he saw that it was his own nose!At this extraordinary sight, everything seemed to turn round with him. He felt as though he could hardly keep upright on his legs; but, though trembling all over as though with fever, he resolved to wait till the nose should return to the carriage. After about two minutes the nose actually came out again. It wore a gold-embroidered uniform with a stiff, high collar, trousers of chamois leather, and a sword hung at its side. The hat, adorned with a plume, showed that it held the rank of a state-councillor. It was obvious that it was paying âduty-calls.â It looked round on both sides, called to the coachman âDrive on,â and got into the carriage, which drove away. Poor Kovaloff nearly lost his reason. He did not know what to think of this extraordinary procedure. And indeed how was it possible that the nose, which only yesterday he had on his face, and which could neither walk nor drive, should wear a uniform? He ran after the carriage, which fortunately had stopped a short way off before the Grand Bazaar of Moscow. He hurried towards it and pressed through a crowd of beggar-women with their faces bound up, leaving only two openings for the eyes, over whom he had formerly so often made merry ...âHow can I get at it?â thought Kovaloff. âEverythingâthe uniform, the hat, and so onâshow that it is a state-councillor. How the deuce has that happened?âHe began to cough discreetly near it, but the nose paid him not the least attention.âHonourable sir,â said Kovaloff at last, plucking up courage, âhonourable sir.ââWhat do you want?â asked the nose, and turned round.âIt seems to me strange, most respected sirâyou should know where you belongâand I find you all of a suddenâwhere? Judge yourself.ââPardon me, I do not understand what you are talking about. Explain yourself more distinctly.ââHow shall I make my meaning plainer to him?â Then plucking up fresh courage, he continued, âNaturallyâbesides I am a Major. You must admit it is not befitting that I should go about without a nose. An old apple-woman on the Ascension Bridge may carry on her business without one, but since I am on the look out for a post; besides in many houses I am acquainted with ladies of high positionâMadame Tchektyriev, wife of a state-councillor, and many others. So you seeâI do not know, honourable sir, what youââ (here the Major shrugged his shoulders). âPardon me; if one regards the matter from the point of view of duty and honourâyou will yourself understandâââI understand nothing,â answered the nose. âI repeat, please explain yourself more distinctly.ââHonourable sir,â said Kovaloff with dignity, âI do not know how I am to understand your words. It seems to me the matter is as clear as possible. Or do you wishâbut you are after all my own nose!âThe nose looked at the Major and wrinkled its forehead. âThere you are wrong, respected sir; I am myself. Besides, there can be no close relations between us. To judge by the buttons of your uniform, you must be in quite a different department to mine.â So saying, the nose turned away
