Elizabeth Clarke

Elizabeth (Lizzie), although she is Melanie’s older sister, is evidently the less mature of the two. As the oldest sibling, she tries to be quite controlling of her sister’s affairs. Although this makes her quite uncomfortable, Melanie tries to not let it get too much under her skin. One of the not so talked about occurrences in the family is when Lizzie had a reasonable win on the Melbourne Cup, and subsequently spent a hundred to a hundred and fifty dollars a week at the races.
