She asks if you ever cry when you read good books. If the Player selects "Sometimes", Mary says she likes people who respond to good books and she thinks it's a sign of intelligence. She insists the Player take the book she's been reading as a gift, and leaves. If the Player responds "Never", Mary says it's probably because he hasn't read the right books yet and she leaves.
