528 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
At Laielohelohe’s words, Malio approched Laielohelohe and the 
girl saw her, and she was a stranger to Laielohelohe’s eyes. 
Then she started to kiss her. ; 
And as the girl was about to give the promised kiss, Malio said, 
“Let our kiss wait, first give my brother a kiss; when you two have 
done, then we will kiss.” 
Then said Laielohelohe, “ You and your brother may go away, do 
not bring him into my presence; you both go back to your own place 
and do not come here again. For it was only you I promised to 
greet with a kiss, no one else; should I do as you desire, I should dis- 
obey my good guardian’s command.” 
When Malio heard this she returned to her brother and said, “ We 
have failed to-day, but I will try my supernatural arts to fulfill your 
desire.” 
They went back to the house, then she directed Halaaniani to go 
and spy upon Laieikawai. 
When Halaaniani came to Keaau as his sister directed, he neither 
saw nor heard of Laieikawai.
