Black Queen "Staff, there are flocks of pigeons out there carrying message about ME! People are talking about ME behind my back! How do I stop them?"
(Staff is a very mysterious person, never seen in public. The Black Queen always says "I have no Staff". It doesn't seem to occur to her that there might be a connection between her refusal to acknowledge Staff and the lost phone messages, missed appointments and irate villagers that plague her so.)
Staff "They would like to talk about you in front of your face but you won't see them."
Black Queen "Drat! How do I keep them from talking WITHOUT seeing them. Why, I can't even find out what they are saying."
Staff "If you don't know what they are saying how do you know they are talking about you?"
Black Queen "I have my sources. I know! I'll send a proclamation by pigeon telling them to stop talking about me!"
Staff "Don't you remember, Your Blackness? When you send pigeons to the villages they send pigeons back with replies."
Black Queen " I don't want replies. I don't want to hear them! I don't want to see them! I WANT THEM TO STOP TALKING ABOUT ME!!!"
(At that point, Staff closed the door and the rest of the conversation is lost... except for some muffled screams and thuds.)

The Black Queen needs to remember a basic premise - What you do is what gets said about you. You can't control people talking but you can make what they say good by saying and doing good things(tho in her case that may not be possible).
