Mercy continued to visit Felix and Mary did not relent in her plot to end their relationship. She did not want to accept defeat.
She solicited help from Gladys who asked her to fight her own battles because she was tired of going after a man who had consistently rejected her. She felt that she had respect enough for herself that she wouldn't want to be embarrassed or rejected once more.

Gladys asked perplexed.
