Bilbo as adventurer/'burglar'

[Liriodendron]

I like to believe that Gandalf could sense the ominous importance of Bilbo in the scheme of things to come. Of course, there is no ring yet, but somehow, Gandalf gets this intuitive feeling about Bilbo, and he is wise enough to listen to his inner voice and include Bilbo in the quest of the dwarves. What Estelyn says is much more concrete and goes to support the hunch Gandalf has about Mr Baggins.
