Very, very close, and spot on regarding the 'last gasp.' (Except I don't think it's exactly 'repeatedly' - Sam 'knows' it, then in the morning says it, once).
Geographically, you couldn't get any warmer.

Is #15 just ROCK[S]? Bilbo thinks of feather-beds while sleeping in the Eyrie, and the text just gives 'the hard rock' as a description for what he's sleeping on instead. ~hS
Right idea; wrong substance; wrong hobbit.
