the narrator owed his friend, Todd, a dollar when he was leaving for Bermuda, to pay for the taxi as Todd did not had the change.
From Bermuda, Todd sent the narrator a letter stating the temperature of Bermuda. Before opening the letter, the narrator thought that the envelop contains the owed dollar, he was mistaken once.
Again, when Todd returned, the narrator went to pick him up thinking that his friend would feel good to see someone waiting for him. On the way, the narrator tried to remind Todd about the dollar by mentioning the taxi thinking that he may remember about the dollar.
On another occasion, during an evening chat, the author broaches the subject of the American dollar by asking if it is circulation in Bermuda too. Todd replies, but the suggestion fails to kindle his memory about the ‘unpaid dollar’.
The author meets Todd almost every day in the Club, but Todd never mentions about his debt. Todd even says that he no longer remembers much about his Bermuda trip. The author is exasperated. He feels resigned to the loss of his dollar.
In desperation, he writes off the dollar. He adds Todd’s name to his list of people who have similarly defaulted in repaying their one-dollar loans. The author remains as friendly with Todd as before.
On another day, the author met Todd over dinner. Todd mentioned disapprovingly how Poland had defaulted in its debts. To the author’s distress, Todd did not appear to think of his own un-paid debt.
With his wounded feelings, the author begins a period of introspection. He feels, if forgetting loans is so human, he himself could have taken such loans and not repaid it. This realization unsettles him.
The feeling of moral guilt haunts the author. He wants his creditors to come forward and claim their refunds.
So disturbed the author is about this malaise of loan defaults that he wants to start a “Back to Honesty’ campaign. He is convinced that honesty should be the bedrock of all nations aspiring to greatness.
While concluding, the author wants his ‘forgetful’ friend Todd not to know of the torment the non-payment has caused to him. Comically, he wants the readers not to bring the copies of this story to the University Club Montreal frequented by Major Todd..
Here we see how much he narrator tries to remind Todd about the dollar, he's in vain, and maybe he'd never get his dollar back.
