I can't get rid of a hobbitish feeling. Bilbo and Gollum's riddling?

That's the correct timeframe, but the answer here is a single person in a single, well-defined period of time.

A burrahobbit looking for the trolls and springing on a squeaking purse?

Nice, but no. When I said you were in the right timeframe, I really meant it.

You just need to be more specific.

It is Bilbo, though, I'll give you that.

Nope, later than that. This moment takes place while Gollum is present.
