"I was raised by the Carmelite Nuns. The Gestapo in drag." I should tell this to my grandmother - her mother was Catholic and from Cork, and her sister almost became a nun before keeping house for the Dean of Ely...
There was a decidedly non-stealth Nun in Molesey when I lived there - she used to come to the shop to get flowers for the convent and look wistfully at all the ones that the manageress wouldn't sell her.
