Chapter Summaries & Analyses
An enormous giant, the Bloodbottler, comes into the BFG’s cave, claiming that he heard the BFG speaking to a “human bean.” The Bloodbottler wants to find the human and eat them (55). The very nervous BFG hastily assures him that he was just talking to himself.
Sophie hides in the snozzcumber. The BFG, not realizing that Sophie is hiding inside the snozzcumber, encourages the Bloodbottler to taste a bite to distract him. Sophie finds herself in the Bloodbottler’s mouth when he takes a bite. Luckily, he spits out the mouthful—including Sophie, who is cushioned when she hits the cave wall by the BFG’s coat. She hides beneath the hem of the coat.
The Bloodbottler finally leaves. The BFG finds Sophie and is shocked to learn that she was inside the snozzcumber and then the Bloodbottler’s mouth. The BFG wishes that all of the other giants would disappear. Sophie suggests that maybe they could make this happen.
Sophie asks for water and the BFG does not know what this is. Giants, he explains, drink Frobscottle, which—unlike snozzcumbers—is delicious. Sophie is surprised to see that bubbles travel downwards in frobscottle, unlike carbonated drinks she is used to, where the bubbles travel up.
