    The White Queen offers to hire Alice as her lady's maid and to pay her "Twopence a week, and jam every other day. The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday—but never jam to-day. Jam is therefore never available today. Whereas the first book has the deck of playing cards as a theme, Through the Looking-Glass is based on a game of chess, played on a giant chessboard with fields for squares. Most of the main characters are represented by a chess piece, with Alice being a pawn.

    The looking-glass world is divided into sections by brooks or streams, with the crossing of each brook usually signifying a change in the scene, and corresponding to Alice advancing by one square. The sequence of moves white and red is not always followed. Lewis Carroll decided to suppress a scene involving what was described as "a wasp in a wig" possibly a play on the commonplace expression "bee in the bonnet". It has been suggested in a biography by Carroll's nephew, Stuart Dodgson Collingwood, that one of the reasons for this suppression was a suggestion from his illustrator, John Tenniel, [4] who wrote in a letter to Carroll dated 1 June I am bound to say that the 'wasp' chapter doesn't interest me in the least, and I can't see my way to a picture.

    If you want to shorten the book, I can't help thinking — with all submission — that there is your opportunity. For many years no one had any idea what this missing section was or whether it had survived. In , a document purporting to be the galley proofs of the missing section was sold at Sotheby's ; the catalogue description read, in part, that "The proofs were bought at the sale of the author's The bid was won by John Fleming, a Manhattan book dealer. The rediscovered section describes Alice's encounter with a wasp wearing a yellow wig, and includes a full previously unpublished poem.

    If included in the book, it would have followed, or been included at the end of, Chapter 8 — the chapter featuring the encounter with the White Knight. The discovery is generally accepted as genuine, but the proofs have yet to receive any physical examination to establish age and authenticity. The book has been adapted several times, in combination with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and as a stand-alone film or television special.
