Corporal Clive Winton — late 20s to late 30s. American. Rather dashing, with a devil-may-care attitude. Also must have agility.

 

Ida (the maid) — 18 to ? Does not suffer fools lightly but is loyal and playful enough to join in on the schemes. Must have a Cockney accent, although an Irish one could work. Must be strong enough to catch/drag/move Miss Skillon.

 

Miss Skillon — about the same age as Rev. Lionel Toop or older. Miss Skillon is the town busybody and arbitrator of all that is “correct.” Veddy, veddy British. Must be adept at physical comedy (falling, staggering, getting “slapped” etc.).
