Harold Mainwaring would not be likely to appear on the scene unless he were pretty effectually disguised.

Don't think that Hobson will run any risks or put himself to any personal inconvenience for Mrs.LaGrange.

He is working first and foremost for Richard Hobson, after that for whoever will pay him best.
Another thing, don't ever for a moment imagine that Hugh Mainwaring's private secretary is looking for a job.
