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.

Sorry...I forgot to check this thread. Tom got it. The quote is referencing Bilbo.

OK. If it's my turn, here goes . . . . .
What relationship did Gandalf claim to have with Radagast?

he's his cousin, maybe "distant cousin", or something of the sort, but i'm pretty sure it was cousin...

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."

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

I'm not sure Bilbo ever had his fill . . . . . . and, no.

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.
