Answer 1

walk up to the club.

Answer 2

After returning from Bermuda, Todd prefers to walk up to the club.

• The line is taken from the story 'The lost dollar'.
• Todd, the author's friend, was visiting Bermuda for a few days. He borrowed a dollar from the author just before leaving to pay off the taxi. The author expected a dollar bill in the envelope when Todd wrote a letter from Bermuda.
• Todd has returned from Bermuda but has not returned the author's one dollar. The lender is too nice to offend his friend by asking for his money back. The author was bothered by the fact that Todd had borrowed the dollar, and he tried in vain to recover it.
• First, he went to the train station to meet Todd when he arrived back from Bermuda. Todd was cheerful, but he was embarrassed that he hadn't returned his dollar loan. Later, during an evening conversation, the author brought up the American dollar and inquired whether it was also used in Bermuda. Todd missed the clue about the unpaid dollar.
• The author saw Todd almost every day at the Club, but Todd never mentioned the due dollar. Todd notices disapprovingly one day that Poland has defaulted on its debts. Todd's failure to consider his unpaid debt irritated the author greatly. Todd's irresponsible attitude irritated the author, who wrote off his loaned dollar and added Todd's name to his list of one-dollar loan defaulters.
• Offended and distraught, the author admits that forgetting to repay loans was a human flaw. The thought that he could have taken such loans and not repaid them made him sad. Tormented by guilt, the author wished that his creditors would demand repayment. He wanted to start a "Back to Honesty" campaign because he was troubled by loan defaults. He believes that honesty should be at the heart of all nations striving for greatness.
• The author did not want his 'forgetful' friend to know of his agony as a result of the debt not being paid, and he urged his readers not to bring copies of the story to the University Club Montreal, which was patronised by Major Todd.
