One Thing That Never Happened to Bilbo Baggins
Bilbo was weeding his garden when the first dwarf came toiling up the hill to Bag End. He didn't think much of it until the second and third dwarves passed and that so shocked Bilbo that he rocked back on his heels and the trowel fell right through his fingers. Odo Proudfoot might lack in hobbit sense, but surely he knew better than to bring dwarves around for tea!
When Gandalf came striding along, rounding out the twelve dwarves, Bilbo abandoned his gardening completely and scurried inside. This smelled of adventure and Bilbo would have nothing to do with it.
