Discussion, The Hobbit: Chapter 16: A Thief in the Night
This is a very short chapter, so only two questions from me, unless anyone has something else they'd like to add.
1. What might have happened if Bilbo had given in to his fears at the beginning of the chapter and given the Arkenstone to Thorin?
2. And what difference might it have made if Bilbo had taken Thranduil's offer to remain with them after he handed over the Arkenstone?
