In response to the Barrow-Wight, I don't think Merry, Pippin and Sam would be engaging in sitcom-style wink-wink gestures. I am confident that they were intelligent enough to slip past a pre-occupied Frodo.
Although, Frodo sure did feel like a fool when he found out!
A very feel-good chapter, as already pointed out. Simply stating the Hobbits love and friendship for each other.
