The Rattrap

Having rejected the ironmaster’s invitation. Why did the peddler accept the one extended by his daughter?
When the ironmaster failed to persuade the stranger to accompany home he sent his daughter Edla Williamansson to bring him home.
She went to the stranger and lifted his hat and told that she was Edla.
She said, “I am so sorry captain, that you are having such a hard time.” She looked at him mercifully and assured, that he would be allowed to leave them just as freely as he had come. She requested to stay with them over Christmas Eve. Her friendly manners aroused confidence in the peddler and he accepted his invitation.
