The Rattrap
What did Edla guess about the peddler?
When Edla reached the ironmill, the peddler was sleeping with a piece of pig iron under his head. He had a hat on his face. When she removed his hat, he jumped in fear. She noticed that the man was afraid. She realised that either the man had stolen something or he had escaped from jail. In order to make further guess, she asked him to leave as he liked.
