Matilda
and
Lavender
saw
the
giant
in
green
breeches
advancing
upon
a
girl
of
about
ten
who
had
a
pair
of
plaited
golden
pigtails
hanging
over
her
shoulders
.
Each
pigtail
had
a
blue
satin
bow
at
the
end
of
it
and
it
all
looked
very
pretty
.
The
girl
wearing
the
pigtails
,
Amanda
Thripp
,
stood
quite
still
,
watching
the
advancing
giant
,
and
the
expression
on
her
face
was
one
that
you
might
find
on
the
face
of
a
person
who
is
trapped
in
a
small
field
with
an
enraged
bull
which
is
charging
flat
-
out
towards
her
.
The
girl
was
glued
to
the
spot
,
terror
-
struck
,
pop
-
eyed
,
quivering
,
knowing
for
certain
that
the
Day
of
Judgment
had
come
for
her
at
last
.
602
Miss
Trunchbull
had
now
reached
the
victim
and
stood
towering
over
her
.
"
I
want
those
filthy
pigtails
off
before
you
come
back
to
school
tomorrow
!
"
she
barked
.
"
Chop
em
off
and
throw
em
in
the
dustbin
,
you
understand
?
"
Amanda
,
paralysed
with
fright
,
managed
to
stutter
,
"
My
m
-
m
-
mummy
likes
them
.
She
p
-
p
-
plaits
them
for
me
every
morning
.
"
603
"
Your
mummy
s
a
twit
!
"
the
Trunchbull
bellowed
.
She
pointed
a
finger
the
size
of
a
salami
at
the
child
s
head
and
shouted
,
"
You
look
like
a
rat
with
a
tail
coming
out
of
its
head
!

"
My
m
-
m
-
mummy
thinks
I
look
lovely
,
Miss
T
-
T
-
Trunchbull
,
"
Amanda
stuttered
,
shaking
like
a
blancmange
.
605
"
I
don
t
give
a
tinker
s
toot
what
your
mummy
thinks
!
"
the
Trunchbull
yelled
,
and
with
that
she
lunged
forward
and
grabbed
hold
of
Amanda
s
pigtails
in
her
right
fist
and
lifted
the
girl
clear
off
the
ground
.
606
Then
she
started
swinging
her
round
and
round
her
head
,
faster
and
faster
and
Amanda
was
screaming
blue
murder
and
the
Trunchbull
was
yelling
,
"
I
ll
give
you
pigtails
,
you
little
rat
!
"
607
"
Shades
of
the
Olympics
,
"
Hortensia
murmured
.
"
She
s
getting
up
speed
now
just
like
she
does
with
the
hammer
.
Ten
to
one
she
s
going
to
throw
her
.

And
now
the
Trunchbull
was
leaning
back
against
the
weight
of
the
whirling
girl
and
pivoting
expertly
on
her
toes
,
spinning
round
and
round
,
and
soon
Amanda
Thripp
was
travelling
so
fast
she
became
a
blur
,
and
suddenly
,
with
a
mighty
grunt
,
the
Trunchbull
let
go
of
the
pigtails
and
Amanda
went
sailing
like
a
rocket
right
over
the
wire
fence
of
the
playground
and
high
up
into
the
sky
.
609
"
Well
thrown
,
sir
!
"
someone
shouted
from
across
the
playground
,
and
Matilda
,
who
was
mesmerised
by
the
whole
crazy
affair
,
saw
Amanda
Thripp
descending
in
a
long
graceful
parabola
on
to
the
playing
-
field
beyond
.
She
landed
on
the
grass
and
bounced
three
times
and
finally
came
to
rest
.
Then
,
amazingly
,
she
sat
up
.
She
looked
a
trifle
dazed
and
who
could
blame
her
,
but
after
a
minute
or
so
she
was
on
her
feet
again
and
tottering
back
towards
the
playground
.
610
The
Trunchbull
stood
in
the
playground
dusting
off
her
hands
.
"
Not
bad
,
"
she
said
,
"
considering
I
m
not
in
strict
training
.
Not
bad
at
all
.
"
Then
she
strode
away
.
