After Umi had gone up, and after the old men had slept off the effects of the awa, they got up and said to themselves: “This is not the way our lord has been treating us; even during the time of Liloa we never received such treatment. Then when Hakau came to the kingdom all we received was just our food and fish and kapa. Even our house is nothing but a filthy place, but here everything is so fresh and good that it is a blessing to live. This is the best treatment we have ever had. From our youth up we have ever been lowly, and here in our old age we begin to have a taste of real comfort; a good present indeed. In the days of our youth we never had a taste of it.” As the sun was slanting, it being about two o’clock, the first of the procession arrived from the uplands. The old men looked and saw that Kaoleioku was in the lead. They then saw a large number of people following along after him. The procession was so long that they were unable to see the rear. As the fore part of the procession came nearer they easily recognized Kaoleioku. Kaoleioku then greeted the old men and they wept, [155] for they had not seen each other for a long time. In the arrangement of the procession Kaoleioku had divided the people into four divisions: first came the tallest of the men, then came the next in height, then came the shortest of the men, and lastly came the children. While Kaoleioku was sitting with the old men, Nunu asked: “Where is Umi? Is it that nice-looking man?” Kaoleioku answered: “No, that is not Umi; he is coming on behind.” The old men, however, kept on asking until the company of the tall men went by, then the next lot of men that came along, then on to the next in size, then to the children, when it became too dark to see the skin of one’s hand. Still Umi had not been pointed out to the old men. As it was getting late and the last of the procession had not arrived, the old men therefore said to Kaoleioku: “Are we not going to see your ward before dark?” Kaoleioku then asked them: “Have you two not seen the man that stayed here when you arrived?” The two answered: “Do you mean the one that entertained us?” “Yes, that is the man,” answered Kaoleioku. The old men again asked: “The steward that received us and worked for us?” “Yes,” answered Kaoleioku, “I made him stay behind to work for you two.”
