He did not take to play-writing because he had exhausted his vein of fiction, but because he was in need of money. This was during the last years of his life. In this period he wrote the five plays which are included in the authorized edition of his works.
"You don't want even to take a chair in my house, I suppose," Mr. Sylvanus Power went on mockingly, "or drink my whisky or smoke my cigars, eh?" "From the little I have seen of you," Philip confessed, "my inclinations are certainly against accepting any hospitality at your hands." "That's a play-writing trick, I suppose," Sylvanus Power sneered, "stringing out your sentences as pat as butter.
But I like to think the best of a Parthenon audience; you and I formed part of that concentration to-night yes, I like to think the best of it. I suppose we know we, the Parthenon audience, I mean what our feelings are on the art of acting the art of play-writing." "I shouldn't like to have to define my feelings at a moment's notice."
Treated in a romantic spirit, the work was not unlike novel or play-writing; and, on paper, I established interesting relations with quite a number of rural clergymen, country squires, London clubmen, a don or two, and some lady correspondents.
Just as Peele and Greene wrote plays because play-writing was popular and advantageous, in spite of their inadequate dramaturgic equipment, and just as Johnson wrote essays because essay-writing was popular and advantageous in spite of his deficiency in the ease and lightness which the essay demands, so Brougham and Motley and Froude adventured themselves in fiction.

Though in the same case as Buloz, and failing altogether to comprehend the subject or its treatment, he took over Seraphita in 1835 and published it. Next to politics, as a means of gaining name and fame more quickly, Balzac esteemed play-writing. The esteem was purely commercial.
I never could understand why he took to play-writing. He wagged his head, gazing regretfully into the fire, and added, 'Such a clever fellow, too! Whistler, though alive and about, was already looked to as a hierarch by the young. Not so had he been looked to by Rossetti.
I fancy Veronica is going to be an authoress. Her mother thinks this may account for many things about her that have been troubling us. The story never got far. It was laid aside for the more alluring work of play-writing, and apparently forgotten. There is decided flavour about them. I transcribe selections; the spelling, as before, being my own. "The scene is laid in the Moon.
Judith, too, remembered. I was her father, for all that I had forsaken my family to dance Jack-pudding attendance on a fine Court lady. So Judith came. And Judith, who sees in play-writing just a very uncertain way of making money Judith, who cannot tell a B from a bull's foot, why, Judith, madam, did not ask, but gave, what was divine." "You are unfair," she cried.
