"He looked up as Bilbo came beside him. Farewell, good thief, he said. I go now to the halls of waiting to sit beside my fathers, until the world is renewed. Since I leave now all gold and silver, and go where it is of little worth, I wish to part in friendship from you, and I would take back my words and deeds at the Gate. Bilbo knelt on one knee filled with sorrow. Farewell, King under the Mountain!"
I read those horribly bitter sweet word with tears welling up in my eyes and peep half way into my mouth. My dad walking into the room seeing the sniffling, peep-eating, mess of a girl. "farewell" is such a sweet way of saying goodbye. Perfect for saying goodbye after a long journey.
"This is a bitter adventure, if it must end so; and not a mountain of gold can amend it. Yet I am glad that I have shared in your perils—that has been more than any Baggins deserves.”
Bilbo is really saddened by his friend dying and he even goes on to cry. Bilbo is usually so light hearten and so when he cries it's just so tragic. He is so tired after a long adventure he really just wants to be a Baggins and the Took side of him is wearing away. And though his is happy to be going home he is sad about saying goodbye to his good dwarf friends.
