Lisa Merrill notes that "everyone recognized that it was on her [Charlotte Cushman's] behalf that Seward had appointed Ned to the post [US consul in Rome]. As long as Seward was in office, Charlotte was to take on an increasingly influential role with the expatriate community" (When Romeo Was a Woman 234).
