What was the reaction of the mill owner when he found that the rattrap seller is not his old friend?

Dear Student,

'The Rattrap' is about a poor peddler who used to sell rattraps for a living. One night when he was taking shelter in the forge, an ironmaster mistook him for an old friend and invited him to his house. The poor peddler tried to reject the offer due to the fear of being caught but he accepted the invite to spend the night. The next morning after he shaved and took a shower, the ironmaster realised that he was not his comrade and got angry. The peddler said that he shouldn't be blamed for the confusion and told him that he was a poor peddler who sells rattraps. The ironmaster was still not convinced by his explanation and threatened to call the sheriff. The peddler got angry at him and accused him of being caught in the world full of rattraps. The ironmaster asked him to leave but his kind daughter still wanted to help the poor fellow.

Regards
