Edla, after learning that the peddler was a thief, hung her head even more dejectedly than usual.
Explanation:
Edla was melancholic because:
Firstly, when Edla and the Ironmaster went for the early Church service on Christmas day, she learnt that the peddler robbed a crofter.
Secondly, in contrast to the Ironmaster, she was not concerned with the silver platters but with the confidence and trust that she had in him.
She felt betrayed by the person she made her guest, and she became more despondent when the Ironmaster started expressing his concerns.
Ironmaster's words blamed Edla for showing compassion to the peddler and making him their guest.
