Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.
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 the Queen.
"Well, I don't want any TO-DAY, at any rate.”
"You couldn't have it if you DID want it,” the Queen 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 the Queen. "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!”
