Answer 1

Answer:

• Edla still entertained the peddler even after she knew the truth about him as she had _felt so happy when she thought how homelike and Christmassy she was going to make things for the poor hungry wretch. She said that the whole year long the peddler roamed without a single place where he was welcome.

Edla did not think it proper on their part to chase away a human being whom they had asked to come to their house and had promised him Christmas cheer. She understood the reality of the peddler’s life and wanted him to enjoy a day of peace with them. Hence, she still entertained the peddler even after knowing the truth about him.
