Abstract
This short paper suggests an answer to the following question: ‘How was it that after many years of financial indebtedness as a writer, Conrad was at last, around 1914, enabled to become prosperous?’ In the interests of modest brevity, and to provoke discussion, I omit many ifs, buts and perhapses from the answer.
