1. Gandalf visits Bilbo at Bag End.

(from Karen Wynn Fonstad, The Atlas of Middle-earth)

“All that the unsuspecting Bilbo saw that morning was an old man with a staff. He had a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, a silver scarf over which a white beard hung down below his waist, and immense black boots.

“Good morning!’ said Bilbo, and he meant it.”

(Tolkien, 1965 Ballantine, p. 17-18 Hobbit)
