Answer:
Trying to escape to the city of Riga.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the story "The Nose" by Gogol, Major Kovaloff loses his nose one day. After looking for it, he discovers that the nose is now pretending to be a human by wearing the uniform of a high-ranking official. Kovaloff tries to get help in capturing the nose, but it seems fruitless. Eventually, the nose is captured at a coach station, as it was trying to board a coach to escape to the city of Riga.
