You're more forgiving than I. I think I mentioned it in another thread, but aside from Slightman, I find Cordelia to be the most despicable person Roland encounters in his wanderings. Cordelia sold her own niece's body. As for the punishment she eventually received from ka, it made it a bit better to know she suffered such a fate, but given the damage she'd done, I'd rather have seen her fall under Roland's guns.

It's part of why I choose "amazement" in your Roland poll Letti. Letting Slightman walk away was something Roland did that I don't know that I would have been able to do myself.
I see.
But you know... maybe without Jake he would have done that. He would have killed him without any heistation. But with Jake on his side - and with the love in his heart - he knew what it's like when you lose your son...
I don't know what that's like but Roland does and (I think) that's why he didn't kill him.
