Candace sheltered under a tree. " I wish the crow woudn't flap its wings so, " she thought. " It's like a hurricane." A shawl blew into Candace, closely followed by the White Queen. Candace pinned the shawl back on the White Queen and tried to tidy her hair, which was a terrible mess.
" Would you like to be my maid?" asked the Queen. " Tuppence a week and a jam every day."
" Jam tomorrow and jam yesterday but never jam today." said the Queen " I don't think so," said Candace. " this is such a strange place." You will get used to living backwards," the Queen said kindly.
" OW! OW!" she suddenly cried out.
