An old woman may carry on her business without one, but since I am on the look-out for a high position; besides, I know many women in high society. Pardon me; if one regards the matter from the point of view of duty and honor—you will yourself understand—"

"I understand nothing," answered the nose. "I repeat, please explain yourself more clearly."
