602 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [BTH. ANN. 33 
Laielohelohe entered and sat down at their heads, kissed him and 
wept quietly over him; but the fountain of her tears overflowed when 
she saw another woman sleeping by her husband, nor did they know 
this; for they were drunk with awa. 
Then Laielohelohe did not stay her anger against Hinaikamalama. 
so she got between them, pushed Hinaikamalama away, took Kekalu- 
kaluokewa and embraced him, and wakened him. 
Then Kekalukaluokewa started from his sleep and saw his wife; 
just then, Hinaikamalama waked suddenly from sleep and saw this 
strange woman with them; she ran away from them in a rage, not 
knowing this was Kekalukaluokewa’s wife. 
When Kekalukaluokewa saw the anger in Hinaikamalama’s eyes 
as she went, then he said, ““O Hinaikamalama, will you run to people 
with angry eyes? Do not take this woman for a stranger, she is my 
wedded wife.” Then her rage left her and shame and fear took the 
place of rage. 
When Kekalukaluokewa awoke from his drunken sleep and saw 
his wife Laielohelohe, they kissed as strangers meet. 
Then he said to his wife, “ Laielohelohe, I have heard about your 
falling into sin with our lord, Kaonohiokala, and now this is well 
for you and him, and well for me to rule under you two; for from 
him this honor comes, and life and death are with him; if I should 
object, he would kill me; therefore, whatever our lord wishes it is 
best for us to obey; it was not for my pleasure that I gave you up, 
but for fear of death.” 
Then Laielohelohe said to her husband, “ Where are you, husband 
of my childhood? What you have heard is true, and it is true that 
T have fallen into sin with the lord of the land, not many times, only 
twice have we sinned; but, my husband, it was not I who consented 
to defile my body with our lord, but it was my guardian who per- 
mitted the sin; for on the day when you went away, that very day 
our lord asked me to defile myself; but I did not wish it, therefore I 
referred my refusal to him; but on his return from above he asked 
Kapukaihaoa, and so we met twice; and because I did not like it, I 
hid myself in the country people’s houses, and for the same reason 
have I left the seat appointed me, and have sought you; and when I 
arrived, I found you with that woman. Therefore we are square; I 
have nothing to complain of you, you have nothing to complain of 
me; therefore, leave this woman this very night.”
