Sorry, incorrect. Biblo in that case was referring to a live dragon-Smaug!
Good guess though...

hmm, "C" it's been six days and no one has guessed correctly. Perhaps you might care to post a new question...saving this for yet another time?

Well...I think a hint would be good...haven't checked up on this thread as recently as I should have...
Bilbo was the speaker here, in response to the other party saying his snores would rouse a drunken goblin...

whose noises could "awaken a stone dragon"?

Good hint, but I think there is a little confusion here.

The elves of Rivendell said this of Bilbo on his trip homeward in reply to Bilbo's comment that their song would waken a drunken goblin.

OK. If it's my turn, here goes . . . . .


What relationship did Gandalf claim to have with Radagast?

That would be correct. (That was quick: have to work harder next time).

The next question is up to Durinsbane2244.

I believe Bilbo's reply was, "it seems a great big hole to me."

Someone said, "Mind Bilbo doesn't eat all the cakes." What was said of Bilbo next?

It's been a couple of days since the last guess, so here's the question again and a hint . . . .

Someone said, "Mind Bilbo doesn't eat all the cakes." What was said of Bilbo next?

Hint: The elves were speaking.
