Read this passage: 'Whose nose have you cut off, you monster?" she
screamed, her face red with anger. "You scoundrel! You
tippler! I myself will report you to the police! Such a rascal!
Many customers have told me that while you were shaving
them, you held them so tight by the nose that they could
hardly sit still."
But Ivan Jakovlevitch was more dead than alive; he saw at
once that this nose could belong to no other than to
Kovaloff, a member of the Municipal Committee whom he
shaved every Sunday and Wednesday.
And Ivan Jakovlevitch was silent. The thought that the
police might find him in unlawful possession of a nose and
arrest him, robbed him of all presence of mind. Already he
began to have visions of a red collar with silver braid and
of a sword - and he trembled all over.
-- Nikolai Gogol, "The Nose"
What can you infer about Ivan Jakovlevitch from his reaction in this passage
from The Nose"?
