	As a diversion in those days, Sinnett picked up a story, "Married by Degrees", that he had published in ''Broad Views'', and turned it into a three-act play. With encouragement from American actress and Theosophist [[Maud Hoffman]], the play was produced at the Royal Court Theatre on March 5 and again on September 16, 1911.

	During a series of sittings with a clairvoyant friend, Robert King, from 1909 to 1914, Sinnett eventually was able to communicate with Patience, with Koot Hoomi, and others.
