The Plan
The Head of the Army and the Head of the Air Force stood at attention beside the Queen’s
breakfast table. Sophie was still in her seat and the BFG was still high up on his crazy perch1.
It took the Queen only five minutes to explain the situation to the military men.
‘I knew there was something like this going on, Your Majesty2’ the Head of the Army said. ‘For
the last ten years we have been getting reports from nearly every country in the world about people
disappearing mysteriously in the night. We had one only the other day from Panama…’
‘For the hatty taste!’ cried the BFG.
‘And one from Wellington, in New Zealand,’ said the Head of the Army.
‘For the booty flavour!’ cried the BFG.
‘What is he talking about?’ said the Head of the Air Force.
‘Work it out for yourself,’ the Queen said. ‘What time is it? Ten a.m. In eight hours those nine
bloodthirsty brutes3 will be galloping5 off to gobble up another couple of dozen unfortunate wretches6.
They have to be stopped. We must act fast.’
‘We’ll bomb the blighters!’ shouted the Head of the Air Force.
‘We’ll mow7 them down with machine-guns!’ cried the Head of the Army.
‘I do not approve of murder,’ the Queen said.
‘But they are murderers themselves!’ cried the Head of the Army.
‘That is no reason why we should follow their example,’ the Queen said. ‘Two wrongs don’t
make a right.’
‘And two rights don’t make a left!’ cried the BFG.
‘We must bring them back alive,’ the Queen said.
‘How?’ the two military men said together. ‘They are all fifty feet high. They’d knock us down
like ninepins!’
‘Wait!’ cried the BFG. ‘Hold your horseflies! Keep your skirts on! I think I has the answer to the
maiden’s hair!’
‘Let him speak,’ the Queen said.
