He says that he wants to go on a permanent holiday, like he says in the text ( last on page 54) "in peace and quit, without a lot of relatives prying around, and a string of confounded visitors hanging on the bell" This could also point in direction of him as a well likes and hospitable. He feel so much more tired and old than he actually looks like. He is daydreaming that he maybe could take to a place, were he could finish his book as he started. Then one day he will give a speech to the people in the city, but after giving the speech, he takes the ring on his finger and poof he is invisible, after that he walked briskly back to his hole. He chance his clothes, from something festive clothes to something worn clothing. He is so tired of people and the way they just come and go as its fits them, he would rather just fade away so he could be alone without any annoying hobbits.
