Throughout his life, the peddler had never known respect. He was always treated coldly by the world. For the first time in his life, he was honoured and respected as if he were a captain. Even after the truth was exposed, the daughter continued to treat him in a similar way. The way he was treated encouraged him to behave in a like manner. He signed the letter as Captain von Stahle so as to underline the impact of Edla’s goodness on him.

Hey !!

The peddler was not a man who was overburdened with morality. But in the end he seems to be quite a transformed character. From a small rat trap seller he raises to heroic heights. The kindness and love of Miss Edla Willmansson awakened the essential goodness in him that he behaved like a perfect gentleman in the end. He was amazed to see Miss. Edla plead with her father to let him stay for Christmas. She also saw to it that he had a comfortable and a peaceful stay at the manor farm house on Christmas Eve she had also requested him to keep the suit given as a Christmas present. She told him that if he ever wanted to spend a peaceful Christmas Eve next year he would be always welcome. The peddler proves true to faith she had reposed in him. He did not steal nor run away with all the silver spoon as expected by the father. He kept the thirty kronor notes to be returned and also a letter for Miss. Edla thanking her for everything. He gifted her with a rat trap by saying its a ''gift from a rat who has risen to become a ''captain''.


Good luck !!
