D. Kovaloff doesn't question why his nose is walking and talking.

In the short story The Nose, Major Kovaloff wakes up and discovers that his nose is missing. Although, he does not know that his nose was found in the bread of the barber Ivan Yakovlevich. He was caught by the police when trying to throw the nose off of a bridge. As Major Kovaloff goes to report his loss to the police, he discovers the nose dressed as a high-ranking official, pretending to be a human.
