Top-left: Wealth worship. The landlord is so impressed and intimidated by the bank note that he barely dares to take it.
Middle-left: Impending doom. You can tell that the narrator is experiencing a sense of upcoming catastrophe through phrases like "I judged that there as going to be a crash." The situation the narrator is in also involves danger: "I must swim across or drown."
