While Laieikawai lived at home with her husband it was Kaonohiokala's
custom to come down from time to time to look after his sisters' welfare
and that of his young wife three times every year.
They had lived perhaps five years under the marriage contract, and about
the sixth year of Laieikawai's happy life with her husband, Kaonohiokala
fell into sin with Laielohelohe without anyone knowing of his falling
into sin.
After Laieikawai had lived three months above, Kaonohiokala went down to
look after his sister's welfare, and returned to Laieikawai; so he did
until the third year, and after three years of going below to see after
his sisters, lo! Laielohelohe was full-grown and her beauty had
increased and surpassed that of her sister, Laieikawai's.
Not at this time, however, did Kaonohiokala fall into sin, but his
sinful longing had its beginning.
On every trip Kaonohiokala took to do his work below, for four years,
lo! Laielohelohe's loveliness grew beyond what he had seen before, and
his sinful lust increased mightily, but by his nature as a child of god
he persisted in checking his lust; for perhaps a minute the lust flew
from him, then it clung to him once more.
