Nun

Michael Donnelly, who has briefly put on his priest's garment, in his
search for another nun, Sister Angelique. Sister Lillian offers him her
help, knowing that her superior at the convent, Father Merlin, is
against it.
At
their last meeting, Sister Lillian unveils a part of the personality of
Father Merlin and Sister Angelique. She confirms that these two people
know each other well. Moreover, she entrusts to Michael that Father
Merlin knows much more than he wants to recognize it : he even knows the
address of Sister Angelique. Before returning to pray, Sister Lillian
makes a strange remark concerning Sister Angelique : "She is the
devil incarnate...". This remark comforts Michael in his doubts

to find the nun, and Sister Angelique...
