The grant might be a treasure (Mon Bijou), unrivalled (Nonpareil), a Diamond, 
a pearl (De Parel), a Ruby, or a chalcedony (Calcedon’e). Possibly the bush 
would turn out to be a Golden Grove, an El Dorado, a new Potosi. It would be a 
beautiful abode (Beau Sejour), an Arcadia ; it might bear The Bell. One pioneer 
was in search of the Golden Fleece and another of a Silver Fleece. 
True it was now hardly worth considering (Kortberaad), however it was useful 
and quiet (Utile et Paisible)—small and clean (Alyn en Rhyn), it was bought in 
Good Faith. 
Of course there must be uncertainty (L’[ncertitude), it would be good or 
better for waiting (Goedverwagting and Beterverwagting), it was only tolerable 
(La Raisonable), it required Patience (Patientia). However there was a good 
intention (La Bonne Intention) and Good Intent, although perhaps it had not been 
a good choice ; the unexpected (L’Inattendu and Onverwagt) might happen and 
Expectation be justified. It was a thorntree (Doornboom), but there were roses 
(Doorn en Roos), and it might become Rose Hail; a spoonful of courage was 
necessary (Schepmoed). A Solitude where the occupier would be a hermit 
(Klyzenaar) it was nevertheless a resource (La Resource). 
Hard work was necessary and the pioneer was prepared for this. Time and 
diligence (Tijd en Vlyt), diligence (Naarstigheid) Vigilance, constancy (Standvas- 
tigheid), little rest (Zelden Rust) were required, but he must Endeavour and Fear 
Not. In spite of everything (Malgre Tout) rest would come after work (Werk- 
en-Rust) ; labour and land were there (Hand en Veldt), the place was suitable 
(Bestandigheid), soon it would be like a Beehive. Going ahead (Vilvcorden) and 
holding hard (Tenez Ferme) with Reliance he would ultimately overcome (Over- 
winning) ; then he might cry Hurrah for strength (Vive la Force !). Of course 
health (Hyga@a) was of great importance. The eye of the master is suggested by 
Keekhoven (spelt with Q). 
In spite of Perseverance there would be vicissitudes (Wissel Valligheid), even a 
downfall that required restoration (Herstelling) and Retreeve. Everything was 
uncertain (L’ Incertitude), but rest after unrest (Rus? en Onrust) would perhaps 
ensue. A downfall is also suggested by Nog Hens, once more, ‘ try again” ; 
Remonecour appears to mean a lifting up of the heart and Pham a rising 
from ashes. 
Care, trouble and sorrow were sure to come ; possibly the name J/ara commemo- 
rated a bitter experience. Sorrow, with sorrow, more sorrows and with more 
and more sorrow or care (Zorg, Metzorg, Meerzorg, Met-en-Meerzorg) are pathetic 
utterances ; one had a lesson in trouble (Leertzorg). However in spite of trouble, 
by diligence (Zorg en Vliet) he gained hope (Zorg en Hoop) and when successful 
tempered pain with pleasure (Zorg en Lust). Never mind! (Noottyedacht) ; was 
not only the cry of the Dutchman but of the Irishman as well when he said in 
Gaelic nabocklish (Nabaclis) ; this is the only distinctly Irish name I ean find. 
Do not mourn! (Z'rewrniet) ; precaution or foresight (Voorzorg), Patience and 
Fortitude will win, and content (Vergenoegen) follow. 
The man who was too Free and Lasy, who wanted only pleasure (Lust tot Lust) 
would probably, especially if he treated his business as a pastime (7'ijdverdr.jf), 
end with an empty house and a bare cupboard (Tout y Manque), a Hog Stye or a
