However Horace Bleackley was more explicit: 'The graceful Harriet Powell, equally frail and famous, whose winsome face was portrayed in many a mezzotint, had spent her early youth as an inmate of Mrs Hayes's disreputable establishment in King's Place, but now at last she had become faithful to one man, and was keeping house with Lord Seaforth, the creator of a famous regiment'. She became the second wife of Kenneth Mackenzie, 1st Earl of Seaforth, although the marriage was secret.
