Red Right Hand: Shady Tree is a redheaded hunchback, whose glassy eyes are described to be like those in a taxidermy exhibit. Downplayed with Wint and Kidd; Wint has a wart on his right thumb, which he is constantly sucking, and Kidd, despite his young age, already has white hair. Their "homophilia" is probably is meant to be a case of this as well. | |

Boring, but Practical: The diamonds Bond is supposed to smuggle into the United States are hidden in a set of hollowed-out golf balls. Mixed in with the ones he's packed into his golf bag, they don't raise even a flicker of suspicion from customs officials. | |

| Diamonds Are Forever / int_60f92ddd | comment |
Oireland: On its way to the U.S., Bond's plane has a brief layover in Ireland. Fleming proceeds to cram just about every single stereotype an Englishman can think of into the airport's souvenir shop. Given that the travelogue portion of the book is based on Fleming's own travels and that this is a souvenir shop in the 1950s, probably Truth in Television. | |

Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat | |
| Diamonds Are Forever / int_60fb097 | comment |
Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: The key reason Bond is able to recognize Wint and Kidd, and rescue Tiffany from them on the Queen Elizabeth is because the former participated in the ship's auction pool (an event where the passengers gamble on how far the ship will travel in the next 24 hours), drawing attention to himself. The "cheating" part comes in because Wint and Kidd planned to kill Tiffany and dump her overboard, and the ensuing man-overboard alarm was sure to guarantee a low mileage. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain: While Fleming was never the most socially-conscious writer, even for The '50s, this was probably the intended effect with how brutally Wint and Kidd treat the Black attendant at the Saratoga mud-baths. It's taken up to eleven with the Spangs' inside man at the diamond mines, an Afrikaner whose "hatred for all black things" extends even to insects. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: The reader is meant to assume that Seraffimo is the dominant Spang brother, what with him being at the very end of the pipeline and being the one with a supervillain lair. Jack meanwhile is written off as a non-threat pretty early on when it turns out he actually doesn't know much about diamonds despite smuggling them. Nope; Jack's in charge! | |
