For it was only you I promised to greet with a kiss, no one
else; should I do as you desire, I should disobey 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.
CHAPTER XXIV
On his arrival there, Halaaniani heard there was to be a great day for
Kakalukaluokewa, a day of celebration for the marriage of Laielohelohe
with Kekalukaluokewa. And when he had carefully noted the day for the
chief's wedding feast he returned and told his sister this thing.
When Malio heard it she said to her brother, "On the marriage day of
Kekalukaluokewa with Laielohelohe, on that day Laielohelohe shall be
yours."
Now Aiwohikupua's sisters were wont to go down to the sea at Keaau to
keep watch for their husband, to make sure if he were dead or not.
As Aiwohikupua's sisters were on the way to Keaau, they heard of the
festival for Kekalukaluokewa and Laielohelohe.
