A PARSNIPIAN DILEMMA
FayeTheVA for Alma the milkmaid - Lead role
Probably in her 20s. A hard worker, she knows her way around a farm and animals. Loves her job. She’s down-to-earth, folksy and always herself. Not intimidated by the presence of royalty. She can be cheeky and flip when the royals act high-and-mighty. But she does mash up high-faluting honorific titles (unintentionally).

After entering the castle, the Milkmaid explains to the royals why she’s delivering the milk instead of the regular guy. Milkmaid: Sorry, Your Lady. Old Bart’s laid up a while. Took a kick in the leg from a cow. … Looks like you’re stuck with me. Prince: The farmer employs you? Milkmaid: He does. I do most of the milking. Bart does the delivering …. But it’s double-duty now with him on the shelf.
The Prince advises the Milkmaid that he is to be married to the Princess. Milkmaid: Well, congratulations, Your Omnipotence. Who’s the lucky lady? … It is a lady, I assume.
The Milkmaid responds when the Queen accuses her of trickery for doing something the Queen didn’t think possible. Milkmaid: No trick. It’s a … gift. (reflective) … Yeah … a gift … (suddenly remembers) Oh, that reminds me. Someone was eating in bed. …. Yeah. Look. Near the headboard … Almost forgot that.
