Summary: "McAllister and His Double" by Arthur Cheney Train is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the main character, McAllister, a clubman who faces an unexpected and tumultuous Christmas when he becomes mistaken for a criminal named Fatty Welch. The narrative explores themes of identity, social class, and fate in a comically embroiled twist of events. The opening of the book introduces McAllister as a somewhat disgruntled clubman who is stuck at his club during the Christmas season, longing for company and feeling irritated by the festive atmosphere surrounding him. His evening takes a dramatic turn when he finds himself in a runaway cab with a dangerous criminal and is soon arrested, believing he is merely a victim of circumstance. McAllister grapples with being mistakenly identified as a notorious thief, leading to a series of unfortunate yet humorous encounters with the police and his former valet, Wilkins. This sets the stage for an engaging exploration of mistaken identity and the chaos that ensues as McAllister seeks to clear his name, discovering both the absurdity of his situation and the inherent struggles of those living on the fringes of society.
