They were helped by the general darkness and "devil's mirk" though it is quite clear that Elfhelm was in on it and his men knew not to draw attention to the stow aways. Elfhelm is one of my favourite minor characters and you can only imagine those unwritten scenes when Eowyn persuaded him to play along and when Eomer discovered the answer to his question "Eowyn!, how came you here?".
