Why did the ironmaster speak kindly to the Peddler and invite him home?
Answer
When the owner of the Ramsjo Ironworks came to the mill for . inspection, the first thing he noticed was the Peddler dressed in rags. Due to the dim light and the Peddler’s dirty appearance, he mistook the Peddler for his old regimental comrade, Nils Olof who had, perhaps, fallen on evil days. He was delighted to see him and invited him home for Christmas.
