Thank you.
Page in HoME 7 or 8, please?

So this predated the appearance of Eowyn?
I was starting to think that JRRT hadn't given serious thought to love and marriage in LoTR until Eowyn showed up and started making eyes at Aragorn. It almost seemed like he stopped at that point and asked himself for the first time who Aragorn was really going to share the throne and his settled life with.

It certainly wasn't a question when Trotter was still a hobbit, which lasted through many iterations of the stay in Rivendell.
