Born Elsie Patrick.<br />
<br />
* Elsie Patrick was an American woman from Chicago with a troubled past connected to criminal circles ([[DANC]] {{refcanon|DANC|65}}). Her father was the leader of a Chicago gang and invented the "dancing men" cipher ([[DANC]] {{refcanon|DANC|564}}).<br />
<br />
* In her youth, she was engaged to [[Abe Slaney]], a dangerous criminal, but broke off the relationship when she rejected a life of crime ([[DANC]] {{refcanon|DANC|568}}).<br />
<br />
* She fled to England, determined to leave her past behind, and married [[Hilton Cubitt]] under the condition that he would never ask about her earlier life ([[DANC]] {{refcanon|DANC|71}}).<br />
<br />
* When [[Abe Slaney]] tracked her down, she began receiving threatening "dancing men" messages, which terrified her ([[DANC]] {{refcanon|DANC|53}}).<br />
<br />
* During the fatal confrontation between [[Abe Slaney]] and her husband, she attempted to intervene, but [[Hilton Cubitt]] was shot dead; she then attempted to take her own life and was gravely wounded ([[DANC]] {{refcanon|DANC|183}}).<br />
<br />
* She eventually recovered completely and, as [[Sherlock Holmes]] notes in the epilogue, remained a widow, dedicating herself to charity and managing her late husband's estate ([[DANC]] {{refcanon|DANC|605}}).<br />
