More than willing to toil nightly in a barn and in a kitchen for those who were fond of him, he quickly took offense if crassly offered a bribe for his labors of love. In this modern tale, the author tells of a brownie named Angus, who had served his family faithfully for hundreds of years, and how he ran away when presented with a rich gift by his greedy new master."
