why did the ironmaster invite the peddler to his home why did the latter declined?

The owner of Ramsjo iron mill came into the forge on one of his night rounds and saw the peddler. The iron master walked up close to him, looked him over carefully and mistook him for his friend, Nils Olof and so he invited the peddler home. The peddler did not reveal his true identity because he thought the iron master would give him a couple of kronors. But to go along with the iron master up to the manor did not please the peddler and he thought that it would be like throwing himself into the lion's den and so he declined the offer.
