METHOD OF MEETING THE DIFFICULTY 285
in the ocean, and did not understand that there were not
so many fish to be got out of a well as could be caught
' from the sea. A field could only yield according to its
W size and the amount put into it. A poor peasant got
0 only just enough from his field to support himself and
ti his family, with a very little over for religious offerings.
Iii It was hard, therefore, that we should demand so much
l! from Tibet, and the National Assembly would be very
141 much disheartened at the result of this interview.
ï I replied that what they had agreed to was what cost
them nothing, and was, indeed, to their advantage. The

o
myself, so I asked the Amban when he next came to see
me to bring the Tibetan Members of Council with him.
I He came on the 30th, accompanied by the Acting Regent
r and three Members of Council. I told him that we had
had some misunderstanding with the Tibetans as to what
precisely they did and did not agree to. They had
informed me on a previous occasion that they had sent him
a written agreement to accept all our terms except that
