In case you cannot recall its precise situation, I might remind you that the Curzolane Archipelago, consisting of several good-sized islands Brazza, Lésina, Lissa, Mélida, and Curzola and a great number of smaller ones, lies off the Dalmatian coast, almost opposite Ragusa.
Risano was Teuta's capital, and there she died in 220 B.C. Her husband Agron had conquered the country as far as Friuli. This decided the Romans to destroy her power, and treachery made the task easy. From 227 B.C. Corfu, Lesina, and Lissa were under Roman protection; the Illyrians were only allowed two ships, and were not permitted to pass the Issus.
By Sardinians, too. ... It may well be a primordial form of clothing with mankind. The view from this castle must be superb on clear days. Standing there, I looked inland and remembered all the places I had intended to see Vieste, and Lesina with its lakes, and Selva Umbra, whose very name is suggestive of dewy glades; how remote they were, under such dispiriting clouds! I shall never see them.
It is the longest of the Dalmatian islands, being 70 kilometres long by 10 broad. The town of Lesina lies on the south-west coast, and still retains a great part of its crenellated walls. It is decayed, and there are many ruined palaces of the Venetian period, some of which are fine. The piazza is the largest in Dalmatia, and beyond it the houses form a semicircle interspersed with gardens.
Here was Filina's opportunity to give Lesina good advice, namely, to take his wife, her mother, and Palko, and move before the winter to his cottage in the Gemer mountains. He told him also that Madame Slavkovsky meant to give him some trees from a piece of land that needed to be replanted. In the meantime he could find some other place where he would like to stay.
"He is a blessed boy," admitted Filina with a sigh. Oh, how very much he needed this boy! Therefore when, instead of Lesina, a letter came, he was much relieved. Lesina wrote that he would not be able to come back till six weeks later, and asked Bacha to keep Palko with him in the meantime, that he would be useful in every way.
