Question -
Answer -
IronmasterтАЩs daughter Edla had known the truth about the stranger that he was not the captain his father had mistaken him to be. She said that the stranger walked and walked the whole year long, and there is probably not a single place in the whole country where he is welcomed and can feel at home.
She said that he is always afraid of being arrested and cross-examined. She said that she would like to have him enjoy a day of peace with them in their house-just one in the whole year. That is why Elda still entertained the peddler even after she knew the truth about him. She thought that they should not chase away a human being whom they had asked to come to their house.
