The announcement of the second Lord Lytton's appointment as Viceroy of India, at the time when the Government was keeping -the matter a secret, was one of the greatest feats of Delane. _ The story goes "that the famous editor of the Times was sitting at dinner next to an equally famous physician, who Happened to mention that Lord Lytton had consulted him that morning as to the fitness of his constitution to withstand the Indian climate. Delane "wisely asked 110 questions, but drew his inference from- what lie heard, and the next morning the Times announced the appointment of Lord Lytton as Viceroy of India. Whether true or not, the story points the moral that the doctor should take care not to lot any fact, however trivial, learnt from a patient who .consults him, escape his lips
