Major Kovaloff believes that witchcraft is what took his nose.
He knows a woman that wanted to marry her daughter to him, but he had often rejected. He thinks that to get her revenge, she "must have hired

To inform. The author with this line is presenting the information to allow the reader to better understand the author's perspective or point of view. The quote does not include language to persuade, change the reader's mind, nor is the author instructing, or telling someone how to do something.
