Naturally the first thing he saw was the tall ragamuffin who had eased his way so close to the furnace
that steam rose from his wet rags. The ironmaster did not follow the example of the blacksmiths, who
had hardly deigned to look at the stranger. He walked close up to him, looked him over very carefully,
then tore off his slouch hat to get a better view of his face.
‘‘But of course it is you, Nils Olof!’’ he said. “How you do look!”
The man with the rattraps had never before seen the ironmaster at Ramsjo and did not even know what
his name was. But it occurred to him that if the fine gentleman thought he was an old acquaintance, he
might perhaps throw him a couple of kronor. Therefore he did not want to undeceive him all at once.
who is the word ‘ragamuffin’ referring to?
f. Where was the ragamuffin standing when the Ironmaster approached him?
g. Was the peddler really an old acquaintance of the Ironmaster? Support your answer.
h. Why didn’t the peddler reveal his true identity to the Ironmaster?
