Capturing the Giants

''The soldiers crept forward with their ropes and chains. All of them were trembling mightily. None dared speak a word. The BFG, with Sophie now sitting on the palm of his hand, stood near by watching the operation. To give the soldiers their
due, they were extremely courageous. There were
six well- trained efficient men working on each giant
and within ten minutes eight out of the nine giants
have been trussed up like chickens and were still snoring contentedly.''
