She offers Alice " jam to-morrow and jam yesterday - but never jam to-day." She screams in pain until, rather than because, she pricks her thumb on her brooch, and tells Alice of the King's messenger who has been imprisoned for a crime he will later be tried for and perhaps (but not definitely) commit in the end. The White Queen lives backwards in time, due to the fact that she lives through the eponymous looking glass. She does not meet the White Queen as a human-sized character until the Fifth Square.
