In this book, when Rhea of the Coos is looking in the wizards glass, she sees a lady get on all fours and lick(?) carpet... I have a vague memory of this happening in another SK book, and no matter how hard I rack my brains, I cant seem to recall what book it is, if it does in fact happen in another book...
if anyone can tell me what book, thatd be great.. or tell me if im imagining it or not.

I am not aware of any other Stephen King books where this happens. There's a pretty disgusting short story where a maid licks a certain something off a pillowcase (it mighta been the bedsheets, don't quote me), but licking the floors clean? Not that I remember.

Hi,

It does ring a bell, someone in Needful Things perhaps?

Long days and pleasant nights

I'm not sure. Are you maybe getting the scenes mixed together somehow? Sheemie is forced to bend down to lick DePape's boots before Cuthbert intervenes.... that's one similar occurance in that book to what you're describing...

as the fellow says above, may your days be long upon the earth....

There are references to a lot of his other books in Wizard and Glass. Most notably is The Stand. I cannot recall whether that particular scene (disgusting as it is) is in another of his books.

That is the one I was thinking about as well. I just didn't want to try to explain it!

I have to say, the bit with Sheemie, has to be one of the greatest scenes of any straight-ahead western adventure that I've ever read or seen. Suspenseful, hilarious, and improbable, yet entirely believable the way the King tells it.

Thanks to all who saluted and greeted me.... the pahty is just getting stahted...

Thanks, This is one of the books that I kept thinking of when I was trying to remember.. The other was Dolores Claiborne.. I have not come to any conclusions yet. I've just started re-reading my entire King collection, started with Dark Tower series, on The Stand now, after the stand I plan on re-reading Needful Things and Dolores to see if one of those is "the one"
