On one hand, their loyalty runs deep. Stories are passed down
from generation to generation. Those stories are what have kept the
pixies at Merrihaven loyal to the Cragmores. Of course, Esther
and Griselda have had their tricks through the years to keep the
little creatures happy; a little honey, a velvety pillow or a satiny piece
of ribbon works a charm.
On the other hand, the pixies are prone to laziness, quite spoiled and
see nothing wrong with throwing a fit. If one is in a sour mood, they're
all in a sour mood. If you have mistreated a pixie, even by accident,
it is best to close and lock all windows and doors. The pixies will wait
until you are sleeping, then pinch you so hard it will leave a mark.
The Cragmore sisters take turns dealing with the pixies.
One morning, before the sun had risen over the horizon and after
an especially busy night, Esther groggily shuffled into the garden
with a spoonful of honey. Unfortunately, she mixed up two sets of twins. She gave the first set of twins the honey and shuffled back to bed.
That afternoon, Griselda appeared in the garden with a spoonful of
honey and gave it to the same twins that Esther did. The second pair
of twins were fuming mad and that night, the Cragmore sisters
were pinched until they were purple. They never mixed up the
pixies again.
