It's not "of course" to me! Would you explain what the Sterne connection is?

EDITOR's RESPONSE. My vague recollection is that Humbert alludes to a
passage in Sterne's _Sentimental Journey_ about a caged starling, drawing
a parallel with LO. Perhaps someone can provide a mor detailed and
accurate answer.
