At the end of their secret conference, Kapukaihaoa went with the chief to Laielohelohe.
Said he, "My ward, here is the husband, be ruled by him; heavens above, earth beneath; a solid fortune, nothing can shake its foundation; and look to the one who bore the burden."
Then Laielohelohe dismissed her doubts; and Kaonohiokala took
Laielohelohe and they took their pleasure together.
Three days after, Kaonohiokala returned to Kahakaekaea.
And after he had been some days absent, the pangs of love caught him fast, and changed his usual appearance.
Then on the fourth day of their separation, he told a lie to Laieikawai and said, "This was a strange night for me, I never slept, there was a drumming all night long."
Said Laieikawai, "What was it?"
Said Kaonohiokala, "Perhaps the people below are in trouble."
"Perhaps so," said Laieikawai. "Why not go down and see?"
And at his wife's mere suggestion, in less than no time Kaonohiokala was below in the companionship of Laielohelohe. But Laielohelohe never thought of harm; what was that to her mind!
