No, Adela is my designated psychotic or sadist for this story (I don't mind typecasting her). I got the name from Bruno Schulz's 'Cinnamon Shops/Street of Crocodiles' book of short stories, and was surprised to find that it's already been used on the site a number of times. (So maybe others had the same idea?--Its use here is way out of proportion to its popularity as a name.)
