In the short story "Dusk" by Saki, what two kinds of people are compared?

I don't know that anyone is really contented in this
story.  I don't think even the con man is content.

To me,
the real contrast in this story is between people who are basically honest and those who
are not.  The story seems to imply that the world works to the benefit of those who are
not honest.

I say this because the con man really comes out
ahead in this story while Gortsby and the man who lost his soap lose.  Both of the
latter two men were not doing anything wrong, but they lost out.  The con man ends up
with their possessions and they end up with nothing.

So I
think it's a statement about how the wicked and aggressive rule the
world.
