By far, the greatest performance in Alice, Sweet Alice is that of Mildred Clinton as the disgruntled rectory maid; everything about her - the accent, the gestures, the hystrionics - is impeccable.

She is suspected due to problems at school, jealousy of her sister, resentment of her mother (whom she thinks favours Alice over her) and her generally odd behaviour.
