"The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai"

And Halaaniani
became a vagabond; nothing more remains to be said about him.
And when the chief resolved to return to Kauai, he took his wife and
their grandmother to Kauai, and the men together with them.
When they were ready to return, they left Keaau, went first to
Honouliuli on Oahu and there took Kapukaihaoa with them to Kauai; and
they went to Kauai, to Pihanakalani, and turned over the rule over the
land and its divisions to Kapukaihaoa, and Waka was made the third heir
to the chief's seat.
At this place let us tell of Laieikawai and her meeting with the
prophet, Hulumaniani.
Laieikawai was at Olaa as beautiful as ever, but the art of resting on
the wings of birds was taken away from her; nevertheless some of her
former power remained and the signs of her chiefly rank, according to
the authority the sisters of Aiwohikupua had over the lizard.


CHAPTER XXV

When Laieikawai returned from Keaau after Waka had disgraced her, and
dwelt at Olaa, then Aiwohikupua's sisters consulted how to comfort the
heavy heart of the princess, Laieikawai, for her shame at Waka's
reproaches.
They went and told Laieikawai their decision, saying:
"O princess of peace, we have agreed upon something to relieve your
burden of shame, for not you alone bear the burden; all of us share your
trouble.
