Answers
Because edla gives him a better treatment after knowing that he is not his father's friend. He went against his father to keep the peddler inside her house for Christmas Eve....
Edla Willmansson was the ironmaster’s oldest daughter who lived with him in his mansion. She was not at all pretty, but seemed modest and quite shy. She had a very sensitive and kind heart. She was a great judge of human character. The moment she saw the rattrap seller whom her father had mistaken for an old acquaintance, she read him rightly. She knew he was either a thief or an unreliable character; however, she persuaded him to accompany her to her house to spend the Christmas Eve with them. She took his side when her father asked him to leave the house after the revelation. She was a good person and had kind intentions for all, especially the miserable and needy people. So, she decided to entertain the peddler in spite of her father being against it.
