 What doubts did Edla have in her mind about the tramp?

 Ans. On seeing the peddler, Edla, at once, had some doubts about the peddler. She could not believe that he had been a captain. He did not seem to be an educated person. She thought that either he had stolen something or he had escaped from jail.
