One day one of the native-born women of the place felt pity for
Laielohelohe, therefore the woman went to visit the princess.
While Kekalukaluokewa was in the fiber-combing house with the men, the
woman visited with Laielohelohe, and she said mysteriously, "How is your
husband? Does he not struggle and groan sometimes for the woman?"
Said Laielohelohe, "No; all is well with us."
Said the woman again, "It may be he is deceiving you."
"Perhaps so," answered Laielohelohe, "but so far as I see we are living
very happily."
Then the woman told her plainly, "Where are you? Our garden patch is
right on the edge of the road; my husband gets up to dig in our garden.
As he was digging, Kekalukaluokewa came along from Haneoo; my husband
thought at once he had been with Hinaikamalama; my husband returned and
told me, but I was not sure. On the next night, at moonrise, I got up
with my husband, and we went to fish for red fish in the sea at Haneoo;
as we came to the edge of the gulch, we saw some one appear above the
rise we had just left; then we turned aside and hid; it was
Kekalukaluokewa coming; then we followed his footsteps until we came
close to Hinaikamalama's house; here Kekalukaluokewa entered.
