eat compels me to go,
I must go.
Then Hinaikamalama arose to go.
Said Aiwohikupua, "You might give me a kiss before you go."
Said Hinaikamalama, "I will not give you a kiss; the heat from that wife
of yours will come again, it will never do. Fare you well!"
Let us leave off here telling about Aiwohikupua. It is well to speak
briefly of Hinaikamalama.
After leaving Aiwohikupua, she came and stayed at the house of a native
of the place.
This very night there was again a festivity for Hauailiki and the chiefs
at Puuopapai.
This night Hinaikamalama remembered her promise to Hauailiki after the
game of spin-the-gourd, before she met Aiwohikupua.
This was the second night of the festival; then Hinaikamalama went and
sat outside the group.
Now, the first game of spin-the-gourd was between Kauakahialii and
Kailiokalauokekoa. Afterward Kailiokalauokekoa and Makaweli had the
second game.
During the game Poliahu entered the assembly. To Hauailiki and Poliahu
went the last game of the night.
And as the master of ceremonies had not seen Hinaikamalama early that

this night had been promised to Hauailiki and Hinaikamalama, but not
seeing her he gave the first game to others.

Hinaikamalama and found her.
Then the sport master stood up in the midst of the assembly, while
Hauailiki and Poliahu were playing, then he sang a song while fluttering
the end of the wand over Hauailiki and took away the wand and Hauailiki
stood up. The sport master went over to Hinaikamalama, touched her with
the wand and withdrew it. Then Hinaikamalama stood in the midst of the
circle of players.
When Poliahu saw Hinaikamalama, she frowned at the sight of her rival.
And Hauailiki and Hinaikamalama withdrew where they could take their
pleasure.
When they met, said Hinaikamalama to Hauailiki, "If you take me only for
a little while, then there is an end of it, for my parents do not wish
me to give up my virginity thus. But if you intend to take me as your
wife, then I will give myself altogether to you as my parents desire."
To the woman's words Hauailiki answered, "Your idea is a good one; you
think as I do; but let us first meet according to the choice of the
sport master, then afterwards we will marry."
"Not so," said Hinaikamalama, "let me be virgin until you are ready to
come and get
