From time to time, however, her pen was busy; still in the old line of comic or tragic plays, for home amusement. In 1847 she wrote _The Castle of Sternalt; a Tragedy in Two Acts_; belonging to the Cavalier and Roundhead period of England’s history. In that same year she also accomplished _Grimhaggard Hall; a Farce in Two Acts_--not historical, but highly comic. After which came apparently a gap of two or three years; and in 1850 she wrote, _Who Was The Witch? a Drama in Three Acts_--historical again, belonging to the days of the Saxons and of King Harold, half comic, half tragic.
