Abbess of Andouillets?
Hi,
I wonder if anyone recognizes a fictional character called Abbess (Mother Superior) of Andouillets?
I found a satirical reference to such a character in a Swedish book from 1810, but I can't identify the original source. Does anyone have any ideas?
The Swedish writer was not fluent in French and the spelling of the place might differ slightly in the original.
Thanks.

I did some searching and apparently she is a character in the novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne.
I have not read this book, but I know some Litneters are familiar with it. Perhaps they can tell you about her.
