Two other stories in the collection, "Put on a White Face" and "World of Pirates" tell of the hypocrisy of political elections and the greed of the business world. One comes off as a rhapsody, the other as a farce, but neither is entirely successful.
書中的另外幾篇作品，〈畫一張大白臉〉及〈強盜世界〉，一寫政治選舉的虛偽，一寫商業世界的貪婪，各以狂想曲及鬧劇形式出現，成績卻僅屬不過不失。
