306   THE TREATY CONCLUDED

placed in the Appendix. The three original copies I

brought back to India with me.

The 'Tibetans throughout showed perfect good temper

and the fullest respect. They often laughed over the opera-

tions of sealing, and when we left they all came crowding

up to shake hands with every British officer they could

make their way to. The Resident was very courteous, and

showed special pleasure when my words regarding the con-

tinued suzerainty of China being recognized were translated

to him. Altogether the ceremonial very deeply impressed

the Tibetans, who, without being humiliated in a way

which could cause resentment, had now learnt to accord

us the respect which was our due. At the conclusion of

the Durbar I had the Lamas of the Potala presented

with Rs. 1,000. It was the first present, except to

the poor, which I had given since my arrival in Lhasa.

My motto had been : The mailed fist " first and the

sugar-plums afterwards. The contrary procedure so often

leads to trouble.
