1 down Writer sees Mother Superior with a leg in the air (10)
_A_P_S_A_T
Can anyone help - my last answer left?

Guy Maupassant.

Oops!
It's Guy de Maupassant.

Thanks! Never heard of him :)

Mother is MA
Superior is U (non-U and all that)
In heraldry a lion (or othet animal) on the side of the coat of arms is said to be PASSANT if it has one leg or paw in the air.

Put all these together gives Guy de MAUPASSANT - the French writer.
