Quotes
All the dwarves sprang up, knocking over the table. Gandalf struck a blue light on the end of his magic staff, and in its firework glare the poor little hobbit could be seen kneeling on the hearth-rug, shaking like a jelly that was melting. Then he fell flat on the floor, and kept on calling out 'struck by lightning, struck by lightning' over and over again; and that was all they could get out of him for a long time, so they took him and laid him out of the way on the drawing-room sofa with a drink at his elbow, and they went back to their plans.
The dwarves, of course, were very alarmed when Bilbo fell forward down the step with a bump into the hall, and an even bigger bump off the doorframe; but Gandalf was at hand.
The dwarves were still passing the flagon from hand to hand and talking delightedly of the recovery of their treasure, when suddenly a vast rumbling woke in the mountain underneath as if it was an old volcano that had made up its mind to start eruptions once again.
