"Plus d'Espoir." These were the last
words Of Rose de Martial, whose story
has been sung by the poets Of Tou-
louise. She was the daughter Of the
house Of Martial, to whom the castle
belonged, and she was cOurfed by the
lord Of Castelnat, whose manor she
could see from her window. But. al
though she was beautiful and tender
hearted, the lord Tilted her, and she
fell into q melancholy. She sat every
day by the window. whence she could
see the tickle lord of Castelnat's
manor. One morning he passed by In
the valley below. She sung to him.
but he never looked up. "Plus d'Es-
poirr' she cried and threw herself out
Of the window ON to the flags below,
where she was killed. The manor Of
Martial was known thenceforward as
the Castle Of Despond. The fine build
ing was falling to ruins when NJ. Fe-
