"I'm sure I'll take you with pleasure!" Mick said. "Two pence a week, and jam every other day."
Alice couldn't help laughing, as she said, "I don't want you to hire me and I don't care for jam."
"It's very good jam," said Mick.
"Well, I don't want any to-day, at any rate."
"You couldn't have it if you did want it," Mick said. "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday – but never jam to-day."
"It must come sometimes to 'jam to-day'," Alice objected.
"No, it can't," said Mick. "It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know."
"I don't understand you," said Alice. "It's dreadfully confusing!"
