[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Ah, now I did read that chapter (funnily enough!) very soon after A Conspiracy Unmasked, however that thought never clicked.

For one thing, I never imagined Fredegar to be disguised as Frodo. I had thought Frodo's clothes could be in the cupboard for Fredegar to show any guests and be able to say "Frodo is not hear right now."

Besides, I wouldn't have thought that the Ringwraiths would recognise Frodo's clothes and thus confuse Fredegar for Frodo. I thought they entered the house with the purpose of killing whoever was inside.
