how are Edla and her father surprised on reaching home after the church service?
When the iron master and Edla heard that the rattrap seller had robbed their old crofter, they felt very dejected. The ironmaster thought the peddler would steal silver utensil from their house, too. However, in stark contrast to their apprehension, the rattrap seller did not steal anything from the house. Instead, he left his rattrap as a Christmas gift for Edla. He also left a thanks giving letter for her.
