Read this passage: "I understand nothing," answered the nose. "I repeat, please explain yourself more distinctly." "Honourable sir," said Kovaloff with dignity, "I do not know how I am to understand your words. It seems to me the matter is as clear as possible. Or do you wish but you are after all my own nose!" The nose looked at the Major and wrinkled its forehead. "There 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." So saying, the nose turned away. Kovaloff was completely puzzled; he did not know what to do. Nikolai Gogol, "The Nose"
