The Queen sees to matters.
[Private to Jacob]
[just after this conversation, after Anne has had a moment to get her wits together]
You'll be happy to know, dear, I've managed to talk Neil down from showing the rest of the photo, and he's removed it from his Compendium.
What I would like to know from you is just who else is involved in this situation, as your efforts of keeping it from escalating to a point where they might not be exposed have clearly proved ineffectual. Asking you not to antagonize Neil further, regardless your volley of barbs over the years, I am sure would prove just as pointless; however, I may as well request you do desist, as he is not precisely the type to turn to sensible and considerate conclusions when angered. Had someone not stepped in, this could have ended very poorly for whichever third party has yet been unnamed. If you insist on treating the rest of the Wonderlanders like children (and believe me when I say they have more than earned it at any given moment; but as you are not their Librarian, it is rather out of your jurisdiction to inform them of their infantile behavior on so regular a basis), then I do ask that you do not act like an implacable toddler yourself.
You may inform me here, or I will come to the Pentamerone and see to things myself.

[Private to Prudence]
I saw you were going to retrieve that poor girl from St. Mary's, Prudence. I may know a doctor who works there, but I'm afraid to ask for any information on someone who isn't one of my patients, let alone have to cobble together how I found out about her without including a magical journal. How is she?

[Private to Pearl]
You don't know me, dear, but I wanted to ask how you were. My name is Anne; I'm a psychologist and a friend of Prudence and Edwina's. Has Professor Anser come and gotten you, yet?
I know a few people at the facility, darling. If you'd like, I may be able to get in as psychological counsel so you have another Tale to speak to, should Jacob be unable to come quickly enough.
In any case, are you all right?
