Naturally the character of the ironmaster is different from that of his daughter Edla in many ways. Being the owner of the Ramsjo Ironworks, it had been his constant endeavour that only the quality goods be sent in the market. Consequently he had his schedule of both day and night inspection and the best work was done at his mill. In addition to this he was a man of social, sympathetic and sober nature. Considering the peddler as his old acquaintance of regiment, he invited him at his house for Christmas. He felt deep for peddler's hard days. The peddler declined his offer so the ironmaster sent his daughter Edla to request the stranger for the Christmas company because she had more persuasive powers than her father. Being a keen observer, she told her father that the stranger did not look like an educated man and he looked frightened as if he had been a thief or ran out from a jail. But the ironmaster consoled her that she could see him a good gentlemen when his clothes of tramp were taken away. He wished that his friend should get a little flesh on his bones. In addition to this Edla had all the basic qualities of a human being. When the truth was known and the peddler was ready to leave, she closed the door. She asked her father let the peddler should enjoy a day of peace with them. She took him at the breakfast table and the family had the Christmas Cheer in his company. While leaving,the peddler left a Christmas pesent and a thirty Kroner note for the crofter. She felt that the peddler was not a thief. On the other hand, his sympathic attitude reformed the stranger.
