Of the Lord Giovanni there was little news, saving that he was living under the protection of the Gonzagas in Mantua, and that so long as he was content to abide there the Borgias seemed disposed to give him peace.
Next I made him tell me what he knew of Filippo di Santafior and Madonna Paola.

On this subject he was better informed.

Madonna Paola was well and still lived with her brother at the Palace of Pesaro.

The Lord Filippo was high in favour with the Borgias, and Cesare lately had been frequently his guest at Pesaro, whilst once, for a few days, the Lord Ignacio de Borgia had accompanied his illustrious cousin.
I flushed and paled at that piece of news, and the reason of her summons no longer asked conjecture.

It was an easy thing for me, knowing what I knew, to fill in the details which the courier omitted in ignorance from the story.
The Lord Filippo, seeking his own advancement, had so urged his sister upon the notice of the Borgia family--perhaps even approached Cesare--in such a manner that it was again become a question of wedding her to Ignacio, who had, meanwhile, remained unmarried.
