I am sorry to approach you out of nowhere like this, but I would like to ask you something. My name is Ezio Auditore da Firenze; I come from what you would know as Florence. I am employed by Signora Petit, who I understand is your daughter?

I have met Signorina Ronia and find her enchanting company that I should like to know better. However, I would not wish to interject myself in places that may find me trouble. All I need to know, signor, is would any trouble come from you?

It is perhaps rude to speak of the lady behind her back, but best to avoid unpleasantness at all costs. Please advise me; I would be in your debt.
