When did the ironmaster realise his mistake that the peddler was not really a regimental comrade? How was the pedler tackled in his family after that?

Solution

While trapping into the woods, the peddler turned gloomy and despaired thinking that his last day had come, he sank down on the ground and heard the hammer strokes from an ironmill. He moved towards that direction and reached the Ramsjo Ironworks during the dark hours of the evening, he entered the forge close to the furnace and got permission for the night stay. On his usual rounds, the ironmaster arrived and mistook him to be his old regiment friend. He invited him to his man or house for the Christmas eve but he declined his offer. On the persuation of Edla, the tramp followed the young lady. The ironmaster was satisfied to meet his old friend.

For the breakfast, the tramp was properly dressed. When he entered for the breakfast table, he looked quite different. The ironmaster looked at him with puckered brow. He realised soon that he had made a mistake in taking the stranger as an old acquaintance in the reflection of the furnace. He felt cheated and realised his mistake. He orderd him to leave at once but Edla did not want to miss him at the happy Christmas since he was invited by them. She wanted to let him enjoy a day of peace with them just once in the whole year she led him to the dining table. On the Christmas Eve, the tramp did nothing and went to bed after dinner. She gave him her fathers suit as Christmas present and welcomed again for the next Christmas.
