What is a quote from the book of Bilbo speeking, and will you describe how it shows his personality? Look in chapters 1 through 13.

From the text:

"Bilbo Baggins at yours!" said the hobbit, too surprised to ask any questions for the moment. When the silence that followed had become uncomfortable, he added: "I am just about to take tea; pray come and have some with me." A little stiff perhaps, but he meant it kindly.

Bilbo is kind and has excellent manners.
