Brownie of Bodsbeck

The Brownie of Bodsbeck is James Hogg's first novel and is set in the 17th century when the Covenanters were hiding from the king's forces during what is know as the killing times. This book not only depicts an important period of Scottish history but also provides an excellent portrait of rural life and folklore.
Brownies are peculiar to Scotland and England and can be very helpful if treated properly. Feed your brownie cookies and milk and your housework will be done for you leaving you time to read this excellent book.

Just how does this feeding of the brownies work? I'd be happy to feed brownies if they'd clean my home. Details please.
