Can anyone help me with this.

Who turned down a regal offer of jam thrice weekly plus what would have amounted to around nine shillings for a years employment?

Alice

Jam tomorrow and Jam yesterday but no Jam today. - wasnt it the Red Queen - or the Duchess?

So it would be Through The Looking Glass.

Tomorrow never comes so Alice never got Jam.

No refs. This is a guess. Perhaps it was major major in Catch 22.....

Isaw that as well but discounted it as I could not find a reference to the employment part of the question. Now going back to it and re-read it. Thanx.
Has anyone got another clue, as I am still struggling?

another clue for what?

if you google red queen jam then you get it all in stereo technicolor (TM). Nine shellen is 108 [old] pence which is near double 52 or twopence a week, and the whole quote is on the lines of, "jam every other day and employment at tuppence a week."
