The plan succeeds admirably at first and the double is introduced at a sociable at the minister's own house. The guests do not seem to notice that their pastor is at all different or at all unlike himself when the real man slips out to do his writing and the double takes his place among the guests. At committee meetings he has been taught always to complain of a sore throat and never to make a speech and when at the social always refer to his "wife," that is, to Mrs. Ingham, the minister's wife, and let her answer all questions for him on the same "sore throat" plea. All goes well until the double is invited to a dinner and there a city chap gets him to drink a little champagne. He points to his sore throat in extenuation, but the champagne has already begun to do its work, and before the dinner is over he makes a speech which results in his being led from the table by the deacons and taken home. Poor Mrs. Ingham, confronted by the irate deacons and their frisky charge, doesn't know what to do, but the real minister appearing on the scene, caps the climax and brings the story to a ludicrous finish, for his double promptly embraces him and turns him around so that the two men, seemingly so much alike, face the shocked and horrified deacons, making an explanation unnecessary.
