I thought it worked well for PJ & Co to take Gandalf's speech about Eowyn in the Houses of Healing and put it into Wormtongue's mouth by Theodred's deathbed. Besides the fact that it was Actual Genuine Tolkien, and that prob. it wouldn't have made it in in its proper place, it gives the audience an insight into Eowyn's troubled mind before all that ensues, rather than in the aftermath.
