Right.

It's The Dwarf. (More well-known than Barabbas, I would have said.) The passage quoted is so ghastly it’s funny. Narrator can't see how cruel he's being (and wouldn't care anyway) but the woman is made a saint after she dies.

Correct. Character names don’t lie.

>*Neuro-
Neuromancer : Mona Lisa Overdrive :: A New Hope : Return of the Jedi

>84 Maupassant, Boule de Suif (butterball, dumpling..)
C’est aussi correct. I imagine the scriptwriter for "Stagecoach" had this story in mind.
