Bilbo says that he has no use for adventures and that they are nasty and disturbing and make you late for dinner. He does not want to and says no but Gandalf still stays in Bilbo’s house. Bilbo gets annoyed and kicks him out but invites him to tea. Outside the door gandalf carves a symbol into Bilbo’s door

The next day Gandalf comes to Bilbo’s house for tea but brings 14 dwarves with him. Bilbo tries his best to be a good host and feeds them all but all his food is getting eaten and Bilbo is afraid that he will run out of cakes to eat.
