The Rattrap
What type of hospitality did the peddler enjoy at the manor-house?
The ironmaster and his daughter Edla tried their best to make the peddler comfortable at their home. The ironmaster ordered his valet to dress well and shave him. He was ordered to give a good bath. So he was dressed with the clothes of the ironmaster. He was served with Christmas fish and porridge.
