Aldaron said"I've just started
reading UT and if this is the sort of thing I can expect to find there,
it's going to be a good reading experience. "
you are in fact correct , UT is a gold mine , I actually think the writing throughout is superior to the LotR.

Gilthalion said"It may be possible that they were also under orders to quietly deal
with the Shire-folk, so as to retrieve the Ring without danger of
alerting other folk, such as Rangers or Wizards or High Elves
wandering about... "

In addition I think the wraiths were very unusedto being in populated towns and such and trying not to terrorize!
They may have been abit off balance because of that.

It was probably painful and disorienting for them to see and thus remember 'normal ' life before they succumbed to the dark side.
Not to mention that fate was not on the side of the Nazgul .
