Why did Bilbo slip the Arkenstone into his pocket?

What is the climax of Characters?

There are many key turning points. To specify a particular one would be difficult. Here are a few of them: * When he dropped everything and ran off to join the Dwarves. This was a huge change in character for a hobbit. * When he lied about how he obtained the ring. This was an early foreshadowing of the evil of the ring that he had acquired. * Obviously when he slays the spider. It says in the book, a change came over him. He was different after that. Somewhat tougher. * When he took the Arkenstone and put it in his pocket without letting the dwarves know he had found it. It can also be looked at as foreshadowing the power the ring had over him. * Probably the pinnacle of his career as a burglar was when he gave the Arkenstone to those assembled outside the Dwarven stronghold. From that time Bilbo becomes almost a minor character that just serves as a focal point in order for the narrator to tell the remainder of the tale. From this point Tolkien appears to be in a hurry to finish the book and has very little dialog, almost asides.
