Mailelaulii went right to the door of the chief-house; she gave out her perfume as the others had done; again Laieikawai was startled from sleep and said to her nurse, "This is an entirely different fragrance—not like those before."
Said the nurse, "Call out to Waka."
LAIEIKAWAI: "O Waka! O Waka—O!"
WAKA: "Heigh-yo! Why waken in the middle of the night?"
LAIEIKAWAI: "Here is a fragrance, a strange fragrance, a cool fragrance, a chilling fragrance; it goes to my heart."
WAKA: "That is no strange fragrance; it is Mailelaulii, one of the sweet-smelling sisters of Aiwohikupua, who has come to get you for his wife; he is the husband, the husband for you to marry."
LAIEIKAWAI: "Bah! I will not marry him!"
"One refusal is enough," said Aiwohikupua, "without getting four more!
You have brought this shame upon us both, my comrade."
"Let us endure the shame," said his counsellor, "and if our sisters do not succeed, then I will go and enter the house and tell her to take you for her husband as you desire."
Then the chief's heart rejoiced, for Kauakahialii had told him how this same man had got Laieikawai to come down to Keaau, so Aiwohikupua readily assented to his servant's plea.
