In between are two other tales. In "The Partner," Conrad experiments with the elliptical, both at the literal level in the sentence and the narrative level with his story. It isn't his best effort, and it gives way to the third story in the volume, "The Inn of the Two Witches--A Find." This piece resembles something concocted in the mind of Edgar Allan Poe. Even down to the mechanism of murder. But more, it's atmosphere pulsates with a dark and stormy landscape, fitting for the isolated fiends the hero uncovers in his journey.
Good adventure all the way around, with "Because of the Dollars" perhaps the strongest in this regard. And the one most likely to fit in with other novels and tales Conrad fashioned out of the landscape of Southeast Asia. ( )
