Hey,

sorry new here, but I just had a thought while looking through these 
posts. Apologize if this is too off-list

Don't know if anybody here knows Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books. 
Well, she has these lizard people called hertasi, and their 
absolutely happiness comes from cleaning, cooking, washing, making 
clothes...looking out for their humans (or Tayledras, Gryphons...) 
And they don't get paid either. In fact it has been mentioned that 
serving is their purpose

Anyways, this remineded me of the house elves, how they don't get 
paid and so far as we have seen (with the exception of Dobby 
possibly) seem to enjoy their status.
