$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{black}{pink}{Answer}}</p><p>$

☞︎︎︎The peddler declined the invitation of the ironmaster to go to his house. He had stolen thirty kronors from the house of the crofter who lived in that area.

☞︎︎︎He was afraid if the ironmaster would came to know that he is a thief and then the police might arrest him. So, he declined the ironmaster's invitation.

Answer 2

Answer:

He had thirty kroner which he had stolen from the cottage of the old crofter. Going to the manor house would be like throwing himself voluntarily into the lion's den. The peddler thought that the invitation was perhaps a bait for him and he did not want to be caught in. So he declined the invitation.
