Edla had doubts about the peddler’s true identity and background from the beginning. She sensed that he did not resemble the former regimental comrade her father had mistaken him for. His uneasy behavior and appearance raised suspicions that he might be hiding something or that he was not as respectable as he claimed. Despite these doubts, her compassion led her to treat him with kindness and give him the benefit of the doubt.
