In "The Nose" (1836) written by Nikolai Gogol, Major Kovaloff's nose is captured on the way to the city of Riga.
The nose becomes self-conscious and flees from Major Kovaloff's nose. When it was captured, a cop tells the nose was found beside a roadway. Already it had entered a stagecoach, and was about to leave for Riga with a passport made out in the name of a certain civil servant. And, curiously enough, I myself, at first, took it to be a gentleman.
