288 THE NEGOTIATIONS
the donkey died. I said I should ask the Resident to see
that the donkey was properly treated, so that there should
be no fear of its dying. Dropping metaphor, I told the
acting Regent I was really quite prepared to receive pro-
posals as to easier methods of paying the indemnity.
If, for instance, they could not pay the full amount in
three years, I would receive and consider proposals as to
paying in a larger number of years, or any other reason-
able proposal.
The Ti Rimpoche replied that the 'Tibetans disliked
the idea of prolonging the time during which they would
be under obligation to'-us. They wanted to settle the
business up at once and have done with it. I asked him if,
in that case, he had any other suggestions to make. He
made none, but the Tongsa Penlop suggested to him that
the Tibetans should let us collect the Customs duties at
the new trade-marts, and get the amount of the indemnity
from that source. The 'Ti Rimpoche said that, while he
personally saw the wisdom of agreeing to our terms, he
could not persuade the National Assembly to be reasonable.
I said I quite saw that he was more sensible than the
National Assembly, and that he was doing his best to
bring them to reason. When, therefore, I used hard
words and employed threats, he must consider them as
directed at the stupid, obstructive people, and not at
himself personally.
