I'm thinking that's somewhere along the lines of Bilbo thinking to himself?

No Elentarimir, it is not Bilbo talking to himself.

The Great Goblin about the dwarves.

'Up to no good, I'll warrant! Spying on the private business of my people, I guess! Thieves, I shouldn't be surprised to learn! Murderers and friends of Elves, not unlikely! Come! What have you got to say?'

Correct gilraën! your go.

Thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
So a quote from Chapter 5 (Riddles in the Dark) if I'm not mistaken, correct me if I am.

1/

A couple goblins said that after Bilbo put on the ring.

Yes, your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Here's the next quote.

Need any hints?

Yes, I think we could use that...

Okay, it was spoken before any of the riddles.

Is it one of the dwarves? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Bilbo to himself, talking about the Orcs. He was very pleased at his glowing blade.

That would be correct beren, though it was goblins and his sword still shown lightly, so he wasnt pleased at that, your go.

Heh, good point.

5.3/

This is Gollum when Bilbo was taking too long on the 'Fish Riddle'.

Correct as usual Alak. Your go.

Why thank you, Beren.

That'll be Bilbo talking to himself again, while lost in the dark goblin tunnels:

You are quite right. Our dear Bilbo did have quite a habit of talking to himself, didn't he?

And for giving me the entire quotation, Saucepan, you get a Bozo button and a snowcone. Enjoy!

Why, thank you alak ... if I knew what they were, I'm sure that I would enjoy them. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

And now we are on to Chapter VI, Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire, I believe (how appropriate [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

6.1/

Gandalf, in recounting how he made up the "best bit of magic he could" after the Dwarves and Mr.Baggins were caught by the Goblins.

You are of course correct, Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn ...

You flatter me. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

6.2/

This was said by the general 'they', which of course were the 13 Dwarves. They are asking Bilbo about Goblin guards being present when he escaped the caves.

Correct Alak! Your turn for the third quote.

6.3
Who said:

What a great idea for a quiz. I haven't done anything to do with The Hobbit in a long while.

The speaker is Nori. Dori's excuse is "I can't be always carrying burglars on my back"

Finally , an answer! A correct answer as well of course, Squatter [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

"Of course"? I've been known to be wrong, you know, on certain rare occasions. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

If I reckon this aright, this should be the last quote from chapter VI:

Who is the speaker, and to whom is he speaking?

Complete guess here, as I don't have my book to hand, but is it Gandalf shouting down from the tree at the Goblins?

Your wild guesswork has paid off, Saucepan. Your turn.

So that takes us on to Chapter VII, Queer Lodgings.

"I've been known to be wrong, you know, on certain rare occasions" Ah, the modesty [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The new quote is Gandalf to Bilbo and Thorin's company after they'd said farewell to the eagles.

Indeed it was. Please continue, vanwalossien. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

7.2:

That was Bilbo to Gandalf asking who he was talking about (Beorn) that called the Carrock by that name.

Correct Goldberry [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Okay, 7.3:

That was Gandalf, when he left the company on the edge of Mirkwood. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
