going downstairs

There were two brothers in one house in Cwm-celyn [Monmouthshire]. One night, one of them lay in the chamber below and his brother above stairs. Sometime in the night, he who lay about stairs became very thirtsy and rose up to come down to drink. When his brother heard him coming downstairs, he said to him: ‘Be cautious, for the house is full of them.’ The other (being a man of courage) answered: ‘I don’t care who is here, I will have a drink.’ The brother from the chamber saw the dancing fairies opening to give him way, both to go and return.
