            "Ua paa loa ko'u manao e hele aku a koi i ko'u kuleana ma ke ano he kane mare, lamune o ka'u wahine, ua ike no oe e Derika, he mana ko'u ma ke kanawai e hana ai pela."

            "Auhea oe e Radona, o kou hoao ana e hooko aku i kena mano ou, ua ike no oe, aole loa ou wahi lihi kuleana iki i kela wahine, no ka mea aole oia he wahine mare uau."

            "Mai hoao oe e Derika, e pulau mai, me kou ike no, aole e kaa ana ka lanakila ma kou aoao, in a nei no ka hele aku o kena hana imua, a in a no kou kiia mai i ka pu a make, alaila ua pono no kou make ana he kolohe i ka ha'i wahine.

            "Aole loa oe e Radona, i poina i kela po, au i hoowalewale aku ai ia Oliva Esekota e holo mahuku me oe, au no e ike mai la, ke kamailio aku nei au i ka mea oiaio loa."

            "Aole au e hoole aku ana i ka oiaio o kena mau olelo au e Derika, aka e hooia aku ana au imua ou, no kela kaikamhine no kekahi manao e haalele aku i kona noho paaua ana malalo o kona makuahine, nolaila maluna on a na ahewa e pono ai ke hookauia aku."

            "Ae, o ka iini maoli no nae ia o kou puuwai eleele, o ka maalahi o kela manao epa iloko pu, e hoopoino aku i kela wahine opio, mamuli o kona ae ana mai me ka maikai, e holo mahuku pu me oe."

            "Heaha iho la ka mea loaa ia oe e Derika ma kena mau mea au e ahewa mai nei maluna o'u, no ka mea ua hoo mahuka i'o aku me Oliva, a ua hookoia ka mare maluna o maua, nolaila he kuleana ko'u. ma ke ano he kane mare maluna ona."

            Aohe wahi mea a kamailio mai o Derika, he ano hoka kona ke nana aku no kamea eia o Radona, ke hoikeike aku nei i kona mana piha maluna o Oliva, a no ka manao ua kanaka nei, he mea pono iaia, ke hoomau aku i ke kamailio ana ahiki i ka wa e noho malie loa ai o Derika, ua i hou aku la oia:

            "Ua hooko i'o ia ka mare maluna o maua, e Eduada Keokeo, ke hoomanao la no oe, he hoakula oia nou maloko o ke kula hookahi. He kahunapule oia no kekahi o na haleupule o Enelani nei, a ua mare mai oia ia maua, he ekolu la mahope iho, o kela hoomakakiu ana au ia maua maloko o ka pa o ka luakini."

            "O kena mau mea apau au e Radona e kamailio mai nei, aole loa he hookahi kanaka i hiki ke hilinai aku, a o ia ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oe no ka lua a o ka manawa, he keu aku oe e Radona, a ke kanaka hoopunipuni."

            "O kau paha ia e kapa mai nei ia'u, a ua noho aku au me ka hoomanawanui maloko nei o kou rumi, aka ua kokoke loa mai nae ko'u manawa e haalele iho ai, mamua nae o ko'u haalele ana iho ia oe, aia hou ae no kekahi mea mawaho o'u, i lilo i hoike no kela mareia ana o maua."

            "Pela i'o ka ohi, a ihea kahi o ka hookoia ana o keia mare, ke makemake nei ao e hoike mai oe i ka mea oiaio loa?"

            "Ua hookeia kela mare maloko o kekahi hale hoolimalima ma ka Helu kanahiku-kumamalua, ma ke Alanui Akau he mau rumi ka'u i hoolimalima ai maloko o kela hale, a na ko hoaloha na Eduada Keokeo maua i mare, a o ka on a nona kela hale hoolimalima ame kana wahine na hoike."

            "He keu aku no paha kou piha akamai e Radona i ka hoopunipuni, waiho aku la hoi ke akamai ahea! No ko ike paha ua make ke kahunapule Eduada Keokeo, pela hoi na hoike au e wahawai mai nei, pela iho la oe i manao ai, e hiki ia'u ke manaoio aku i kau mau olelo."

            "Ela no ke kahunapule ke ola mai nei, pela me na hoike i kakau i ko laua mau inoa maluna o ka palapala mare, a aia no ka hale hoolimalima a maua i noho ai, ke ku la, me ka hana hou ia ana a oi aku ka maikai; a o ia ka'u e minamina loa nei, i kou paakiki, mamuli o kou mau manao kuhihewa loa nei, i kou paakiki, mamuli o kou mau manao kuhihewa, na hoao aku au ma na ano kolohe, ma ke koi ana i ko'u kuleana maluna o Oliva Esekota."

            "Pehea ka nui o kou noke ana mai i ka hoakaka, no kou kuleana i kela wahine, ke hoole loa aku nei au ma na ano apau, aole he oiaio hookahi iloko o kau mea e hoakaka mai nei."

            "Ua hiki hoi paha oe e noke ana i ka hoole, malia o keia ka mea nou e manaoio mai ai i ka'u mau olelo," alaila wehe ae la o Radona mailoko ae o kona pakeke ikekahi pepa i owiliia, a kiola aku la imua o Derika, me ka i ana aku: "E heluhelu iho i na mea apau i kakauia maloko o kena pepa, e ike auanei oe, i ka oiaio o ka'u mau olelo apau i kamailio mua aku nei ia oe."
