Margery, who heads this library, is a self-sufficient woman who knows the inhabitants and customs of the mountains well, she is used to deciding what to do and how to act, without asking the opinion of men, and therefore often finds herself in difficult situations. He and Alice quickly find a common language and become close friends …
