- Sophie is stuck on the windowsill for the rest of the night. Not the comfiest.
- Eventually, the sun comes out and she hears the clock strike seven. Then she hears the Queen murmuring in her sleep as she has the nightmare. (Apparently dreams take a while to cook in people’s heads.)
- When the maid walks in with a tray of breakfast, the Queen tells her about her dream. The maid, whose name is Mary, drops the tray and turns white.
- Turns out (as she explains) that children were snatched from boarding schools last night, and their bones were found underneath the schools. She hands the Queen the newspaper for proof.
- The Queen is confused, and even a little freaked out (which is rare for royalty. They’re usually above freaked-out-ness). She keeps repeating that the dream seemed so real, but that the children couldn’t have been eaten by giants. As far as she knows, that’s impossible.
- Mary goes to open the window, and then they find Sophie. Awkward.
- Mary starts yelling at Sophie, but the Queen remembers her from her dream. She asks Sophie how she got there, and Sophie explains that the Big Friendly Giant put her there.
- With the Queen’s permission, Sophie calls the BFG. He comes over to the window and bows to the Queen.
- The Queen takes it pretty well. After all, it’s got to be impressive when you get bowed to by someone as tall as your palace. She stays calm and asks them both to join her for breakfast in the ballroom. Not so they can practice the waltz, but because it has the tallest ceiling.
