He makes a sign on Bilbo's door that the dwarves interpret to mean "burglar for hire", which brings them into Bilbo's house.
Bilbo Baggins' Diary Entry Dear diary, Today, after having thirteen unexpected guests over at my house I was taken on an adventure. I was only just starting to realize how far this journey would be and how much respect I would lose from my community when we were faced with three nasty trolls. Their names were Bert, Tom and William. They were complete morons. They were also very hungry and thought the dwarves would be perfect for dinner. Thankfully, they had no interest in eating me. Just as the first of the dwarves was about to be cooked, Gandalf made his move. Like me he had noticed that the trolls were not very smart. So when they were not looking he sneaked into the bushes behind them. Then he started teasing them but did it in a way that made the trolls think it was them. Once they were confused and had started fighting with each other, I slipped on my invisibility ring and set the dwarves free. After that Gandalf turned the trolls into stone and we had a lovely dinner. Although it was delicious, it was not a good start to our quest.
Bilbo demonstrates selflessness multiple times in "The Hobbit," most notably when he offers to take on the role of burglar for the dwarves despite his initial reluctance and fear. He also risks his own safety to save the dwarves from spiders in Mirkwood Forest and from imprisonment by the Wood-elves. Additionally, Bilbo shows selflessness when he spares Gollum's life during their encounter in the dark caves, choosing not to kill him despite the potential threat.
He left without a hat or a pocket handkerchief.
the house was clean and organised
dwarves and gandalf.
Which time? By the trolls? That would be Balin. By the spiders? We don't know from the story. By the elves? That would be Thorin.
Bilbo met the Dwarves in Chapter 1. He met Trolls in Chapter 2. He met the elves of Elrond's house in Chapter 3. These would have been mostly Noldorin elves, but Sindarin elves and Sylvan elves would have been present also.
they left the house and expected bilbo by the green dragon by 11am

Dwarves; in all, thirteen in number. Also came with them Gandalf the Grey, Wizard of the Order of Istar.

"You asked me to find the fourteenth man for your expedition, and I chose Mr. Baggins. Just let anyone say I chose the wrong man or the wrong house, and you can stop at thirteen and have all the bad luck you like, or go back to digging coal."Hope that answers it for you.
Bilbo meets Gandalf and the Dwarves and hears of their quest. There is conversation over a fine meal and Bilbo almost thinks he wants to go. By the end of the chapter though he is not so sure.
