When their wailing was ended he asked, "Whose child are you?"
Said the sister, "Mokukelekahiki's, Kaeloikamalama's,
Moanalihaikawaokele's through Laukieleula."
Again the brother asked, "What is your journey for?"
Then she told him the same thing she had told the mother.
When the chief heard these things, he turned to their mother and asked,
"Laukieleula, do you consent to my going to get the one whom she speaks
of for my wife?"
"I have already given you, as she requested me; if anyone else had
brought her to get you, if she had not come to us two, she might have
stayed below; grant your little sister's request, for you first opened
the pathway, she closed it; no one came before, none after her." Thus
the mother.
After this answer Kaonohiokala asked further about her sisters and her
brother.
Then said Kahalaomapuana, "My brother has not done right; he has opposed
our living with this woman whom I am come to get you for. When he first
went to woo this woman he came back again after us; we went with him and
came to the woman's house, the princess of whom I speak. That night we
went to the uplands; in the midst of the forest there she dwelt with her
grandmother.
