Elsa Clack (d. 2011) was the proprietor and manager of the isolated bed-and-breakfast The Quiet Corn. It is possible she may have lived there at the time, along the hundreds of cats that made her company and she took care of. Elsa is a very old-fashioned woman, yet very warm and welcoming, but tends to be hostile and stern when coping with rudeness. She is noted for possessing a talent in the harpsichord.
