Near one monastery

Near one monastery there's a place outside the town… The monks’ wives, they call ’em; everybody knows about it. I’ve been there myself and it was very interesting. In its own way of course; just for a change. A bit spoilt by Russian nationalism - there are no French girls there though they could easily afford some: it’s a very prosperous monastery indeed. Brothers Karamazov, chapter IV
