    Crocker spends his summers at Asquith, a fictitious lakeside resort. He is surprised to see his old friend the Celebrity, who has also decided to vacation in Asquith. The Celebrity has decided to travel incognito in order to lessen the burden of his celebrity. He goes by the name Charles Wrexell Allen, which he stole from a man in Boston who resembles the Celebrity enough to be his doppelganger. Farquhar Fenelon Cooke, a wealthy Philadelphian who is buying up timber lands in the area, is another newcomer to Asquith. He's too loud and unrefined for stuffy old Asquith, and he parties too hard, so he decides to build his own resort nearby called Mohair. The two gentlemen start courting two beautiful women. The Celebrity's assumed name causes a case of mistaken identity, and his escape from this sticky situation is thorny. Churchill was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and attended Smith Academy in Missouri and the United States Naval Academy, where he graduated in 1894. He joined the Army and Navy Journal as an editor after graduating. In order to pursue a writing career, he left the American Navy. He was appointed managing editor of the Cosmopolitan Magazine in 1895, but he left that position in less than a year to devote more time to writing. He was a published poet and essayist in addition to being a famous author. Some of his famous works include The Celebrity (1898), Richard Carvel (1899) The Crisis (1901), Coniston (1906), Mr. Crewe's Career (1908), A Modern Chronicle (1910), The Inside of the Cup (1913), A Far Country (1915) and The Dwelling-Place of Light (1917).

Years later, David has become a prosperous lawyer while Clark lives alone, forgotten and in poverty.

    Winston Churchill's novel The Inside of the Cup was published in 1913. It sparked a national debate about Christianity's role in modern life. The incidents in the book, with few exceptions, take place in one of the largest cities in the United States of America, and of that portion known as the Middle West, a city once conservative and provincial, and rather proud of these qualities; but now outgrown them, and linked by lightning limited trains to other teeming centres of the modern world: a city recently overtaken by the plague which has swept our country from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

    Winston Churchill's play Dr. Jonathan depicts a New England mill owner attempting to prevent his son from going to war, only for him to disobey his wishes and return with shell shock. "This play was written during the war. But because several managers politely declined to produce it, it has not appeared on any stage. Now, perhaps, its theme is more timely, more likely to receive the attention it deserves, when the smoke of battle has somewhat cleared." ¿ From the PREFACE

    The 1917 novel The Dwelling-Place of Light focuses on labour unrest in a mill town in Massachusetts. The book's portrayal of the mill's subpar working conditions and the violent nature of the workers' rage is startlingly accurate. Churchill also had a keen eye for home affairs, as seen by his insightful portrayals of love and marriage.

He joined the Army and Navy Journal as an editor after graduating. In order to pursue a writing career, he left the American Navy.
