And now, with this last singing of the song, as the lines were cast off and the big transport began backing slowly out from the dock, she knew that Steve was something more to her than playfellow. Five thousand voices were singing "Aloha Oe," "My love be with you till we meet again," and in that first moment of known love she realized that she and Steve were being torn apart.
Also, they knew Hawaiian songs she had learned from Mercedes, and soon, to her accompaniment, all were singing: "Aloha Oe," "Honolulu Tomboy," and "Sweet Lei Lehua." Saxon was genuinely shocked when some of them, even the more matronly, danced hulas on the sand. When the men returned, burdened with sacks of shellfish, Mark Hall, as high priest, commanded the due and solemn rite of the tribe.
They had been driven upward until they reached the artificial shelf, and behind them hounds and hunters cut off all escape. "Apau! Aia oe a!" shouted the rear-guard as the boars took the trail. "Lo! Prepare to strike!" The three slayers gripped their clubs and braced their feet. I was above the chief, who was the last of the trio.
Then for a space Père Orens remained silent, holding high the crucifix, and the chief heard from his pocket the voice of the small god speaking. "Give to me that small piece of living meat," said Père Orens then. "Me mamai oe. If it is your pleasure, take it," said Great Sea Slug. "It is a trifle. We have enough, and there is more in Motopu."
Aloha oe, Aloha oe, e ke onaona no ho ika lipo, A fond embrace, ahoi ae au, until we meet again. There was nothing striking in the appearance of Chun Ah Chun. He was rather undersized, as Chinese go, and the Chinese narrow shoulders and spareness of flesh were his.

And she went on muttering to herself with the wayward spitefulness of age "They maun hae lordships and honours, nae doubt set them up, the gutter-bloods! and deil a gentleman amang them." Then again addressing the sitting magistrate, "Will your honour gie me back my puir crazy bairn? His honour! I hae kend the day when less wad ser'd him, the oe of a Campvere skipper."
She had made every preparation to go with her father and mother, and had her foot on the beam of the boat, when an old woman set up a cry for an oe that had been forgot in the confusion, and was now, likely, crying in the solitude of the back lands. It was the love-bairn of a dead mother, brought up in the kindly Highland fashion, free of every gimel and kail-pot.
It's not only the blude that is shed, but the blude that might hae been shed, that's required at our hands; there was my daughter's wean, little Eppie Daidle my oe, ye ken, Miss Grizel had played the truant frae the school, as bairns will do, ye ken, Mr. Butler" "And for which," interjected Mr. Butler, "they should be soundly scourged by their well-wishers."
