* CurbStompBattle: Roland's first ka-tet inflict two in rapid succession on Farson's men in Mejis, cutting through the bad guys' force like a hot knife through butter. [[spoiler: In the first, they stealthily ambush 40 men riding to join up with the larger force about to leave with the oil tankers, before shooting their way through the party when they are noticed. In the second battle, Alain uses a machine gun taken from the first battle in combination with Cuthbert shooting firecrackers from his catapult to detonate every single oil tanker, then lead the 100 men pursuing them into the box canyon containing the thinny and setting alight the brush to ensure they cannot escape. All the men in the second battle are entranced by the thinny and walk through it to their deaths..

* BloodstainedDefloration: Rhea of the Coos is charged with inspecting Susan to make sure she's still a virgin before she's sold off as a "gilly" (i.e. broodmare) to a local politician who has a barren wife. [[DepravedBisexual Rhea]] attempts to seduce Susan at the same time, suggesting there were things the two of them could do that wouldn't give the man any clue she'd done anything sexual. Susan is repulsed by her and ardently refuses. Rhea ends up observing Susan and Roland have TheirFirstTime through the Wizard's Glass, and knows Susan will be caught when the man who was purchasing the use of her womb doesn't see blood on the sheets the next morning. She does note that there are [[ConsummationCounterfeit ways to fake it]], like pig's blood in a thimble, but is smug in the knowledge that Susan, who rebuffed her, would be too innocent to know of such things.

* RefugeInAudacity: When faced with Rhea trying to seduce him, and perhaps sensing that she won't take rejection well, Sheemie claims that he can't accept on account of his penis having fallen off. Rhea is too busy laughing at the bizarreness of the excuse to be insulted.

* LanguageFluencyDenial: Two ways. The thugs guarding Susan after she's captured pretend not to be fluent in English when Olive orders them to let her go. Olive, for her part, pretends not to speak Spanish in order to maintain the polite fiction that they "can't understand" her--as long as they're still willing to pretend she has some authority, she still has a chance of saving Susan, but if she pushes them to defy her openly, she has nothing.
