Bonus if you can tell us who thought Aragorn was too careless on the Hilltop.

Regardless, it is your turn.

No. Please reread the bonus question:

I am looking for a specific person that thought Aragorn was too careless on the hilltop.

When I said that you were close (location in the book) i meant the answer to the bunus question could be found near the part with the witch king.

clep_web,

When ever you are ready you may give us your trivia question.

I thought Aragorn himself said he thought he was too careless.

In Gandalf's letter to Frodo, how many postscripts were there?
