The latter is almost a sufficient explanation; but if we must be particular, Mr. Brae has yet more to tell us.

Mr. Brae, in the Appendix to his edition of Chaucer's Astrolabe (p. 101), has a long note on the present passage.

Mr Maxwell had seen Mr Fleming stepping up the brae, and he knew well that no words of his could comfort him.

I heard the bell gang for men three tows a' rinnin', an' I see a lot o' men comin' up the brae.

Andrew lighted the boy's lamp and tore up the brae, leaving Robert shrieking in nervous fright.
