Chapter 1

"Gandalf, Gandalf! Good gracious me! Not the wandering wizard that gave Old Took a pair of magic

diamond studs that fastened themselves and never came undone till ordered? Not the fellow who used to

tell such wonderful tales at parties, about dragons and goblins and giants and the rescue of princesses and

the unexpected luck of widows' sons? Not the man that used to make such particularly excellent

fireworks! I remember those! Old Took used to have them on Midsummer's Eve. Splendid! They used to

go up like great lilies and snapdragons and laburnums of fire and hang in the twilight all evening!" You

will notice already that Mr. Baggins was not quite so prosy as he liked to believe, also that he was very

fond of flowers. "Dear me!" he went on. "Not the Gandalf who was responsible for so many quiet lads and

lasses going off into the Blue for mad adventures? Anything from climbing trees to visiting elves—or

sailing in ships, sailing to other shores! Bless me, life used to be quite inter—I mean, you used to upset

things badly in these parts once upon a time. I beg your pardon, but I had no idea you were still in

business." "Where else should I be?" said the wizard. "All the same I am pleased to find you remember

something about me. You seem to remember my fireworks kindly, at any rate, and that is not without

hope. Indeed for your old grandfather Took's sake, and for the sake of poor Belladonna, I will give you

what you asked for."

Q1. Why did Bilbo Baggins find adventures a complete waste of time?

Q2. How did Gandalf know the Tooks?

Q3. Why does Bilbo regret after inviting Gandalf to tea?

Q4. Name the dwarves in order of their appearance, as they entered Bilbo's home.

Q5. Why was Bilbo flummoxed at the arrival of the i3 dwarves?

Q6 Why was Bilbo offended when Thorin called him a fellow conspirator?

Q7. After Bilbo had passed out, why were the dwarves doubting that he was not cut out for adventure?

Q8:How does Smaug destroy the city of Dale?

Q9. RTC's: "Excitable little fellow, gets queer fits, but he's one of the best---- as fierce as a dragon in a

pinch." Pg.21 "

Undoubtedly that was what brought the dragon, they steal gold and jewels and they guard their plunder

as long as they live." Pg. 28

―Do you wish me a good morning………..or that it is a morning to be good on?" Pg.6


Chapter 2

"Now it is the burglar's turn," they said, meaning Bilbo. "You must go on and find out all about that light

and what it is for, and if all is perfectly safe and canny,‖ said Thorin to the hobbit. "Now scuttle off,

quick, if all is well. If not, come back if you can! If you can`t, hoot twice like a barn-owl and once like a

screech-owl, and we will do what we can." Off Bilbo had to go, before he could explain that he could not

hoot even once like any kind of owl any more than fly like a bat. But at any rate hobbits can move quietly

in woods, absolutely quietly. They take a pride in it, and Bilbo had sniffed more than once at what he

called "all this dwarvish racket," as they went along, though I don't suppose you or I would have noticed

anything at all on a windy night, not if the whole cavalcade had passed two feet off. As for Bilbo walking

primly towards the red light, I don't suppose even a weasel would have stirred a whisker at it. So,

naturally, he got right up to the fire—for fire it was-without disturbing anyone. And this is what he saw.

Q1 . Who was waiting for Bilbo at Green Dragon Inn, Bywater?

Q2. Why did Thorin and company decide to send Bilbo to investigate all about the light in the forest?

"Where did you go to, if I may ask?" Pg 52

"Don't talk to yerself!" Pg 49

"Blimey, Bert look what I've copped!" Pg 43


Chapter 3

Now Gandalf led the way. "We must not miss the , or we shall be done for," he said. "We need , food, for

one thing, and rest in reasonable safety— also it is very necessary to tackle the Misty Mountains by the

proper path, or else you will get in them, and have to come back and start at the beginning again (if you

ever get back at all)." They asked him where he was making for, and he answered: "You are come to the

very edge of the Wild, as some of you may know. Hidden somewhere ahead of us is the fair valley of

Rivendell where Elrond lives in the Last Homely House. I sent a message by my friends, and we are

expected."

Q1. Name the mountain that has been mentioned in this chapter.

He dreamed that a crack in the wall at the back of the cave got bigger and bigger, and opened wider and

wider, and he was afraid but could not call out or do anything but lie and look. Then he dreamed that the

floor of the cave was giving way, and he was slipping—beginning down, down, goodness knows where to.

"Who are these miserable persons?" Pg. 74

"Have you thoroughly explored it?" Pg. 69


Chapter 5

"What iss he, my preciouss?" whispered Gollum (who always spoke to himself through never having

anyone else to speak to). This is what he had come to find out, for he was not really very hungry at

moment, only curious; otherwise he would grabbed first and whispered afterwards.

Q1. Who plays the riddles game?

Q2. Why did Gollum like to speak to himself?

Q3. How does Bilbo feel when he discovers about the powers of the invisibility ring?

"What have I got in my pocket?"' pg. 92

"So it is an Elvish blade too." Pg.82


Chapter 6

"I will give them all a surprise," he thought, as crawled into the bushes at the edge of the dell. Gandalf

was arguing with the dwarves. They were discussing all that had happened to them in the tunnels, and

wondering and debating what they were to do now. The dwarves were grumbling, and Gandalf was saying

that they could not possibly go with their journey leaving Mr. Baggins in the hands of the goblins, without

trying to find out if he was alive or dead, and without trying to rescue him.

"After all he is my friend," said the wizard, "and a bad little chap. I feel responsible for him. I wish

goodness you had not lost him."

Q1. What surprise did Bilbo want to give Gandalf and the company?

Q2. Why did the company doubt Bilbo's credibility every time they encountered any danger?

"Mr. Baggins has more about him than you guess." Pg. 110

"And here's the burglar!" Pg. 108

"What is all this uproar in the forest tonight?‖ Pg. 120


Chapter 7

―I don't need your service, thank you,‖ said Beorn, ―but I expect you need mine. I am not over fond of

dwarves; but if it is true you are Thorin (son of Thrain, son of Thror, I believe), and that your companion

is respectable, and that you are enemies of goblins and are not up to any mischief in my lands—what are

you up to, by the way?"

"I have been picking out bear-tracks." Pg.151

"What did you do with the goblin and the warg?" Pg. 154


Chapter 8

There was the usual dim grey light of the forest-day about him when he came to his senses. The spider lay

dead beside him, and his sword-blade was stained black. Somehow the killing of the giant spider, all alone

by himself in the dark without the help of the wizard or the dwarves or of anyone else, made a great

difference to Mr. Baggins. He felt a different person, and much fiercer and bolder in spite of an empty

stomach, as he wiped his sword on the grass and put it back into its sheath. ―I will give you a name,‖ he

said to it, ―and I shall call you Sting.‖

"I will give you a name, I shall call you Sting." Pg. 181

"Now we see you, you nasty little creature." Pg. 188


Chapter 9

In a great hall with pillars hewn out of the living stone sat the Elvenking on a chair of carven wood. On his

was a crown of berries and red leaves, for the autumn was come again. In the spring he wore a crown of

woodland flowers. In his hand he held a staff of oak.

Q1.Why were the dwarves tired and in despair?

―No time now! You just follow me.‖ Pg.207


Chapter 10

But the Master was not sorry at all to let them go. They were expensive to keep, and their arrival had

turned things into a long holiday in which business was at a standstill. "Let them go and bother Smaug,

and see how he welcomes them!" he thought. "Certainly, 0 ThorinThrain's son Thror's son!" was what he

said. ―You must claim your own. The hour is at hand, spoken of old. What help we can offer shall be

yours, and we trust to your gratitude when your kingdom is regained.‖
