Answer:
This quote contributes to the idea that doctor's begin thinking that she liked being there in isolation than caring for her freedom.
Explanation:
"Letter from Mary Mallon" On Being Typhoid Mary" is a letter written by Mary to her lawyer informing him about his treatment in quarantine. Mary Mallon was an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid who spread the infection to the houses where she cooked, of which some died.
Doctor's then kept her in quarantine on an island where she was not given proper medical treatment. She became a mere observational subject to them.
The inclusion of the quote in paragraph 10 contributes to the idea that the doctor's begin thinking that she loved being there, in isolation. This quote is ironic because Mary did want to get free but she was declined freedom. And develops the idea how poorly she was being treated there against her will.

The desire to gain "invisible strength"
Amy Tan opens the story saying, "I was six when my mother taught me the art of invisible strength. It was a strategy
for winning arguments, respect from others, and eventually, though neither of us knew it
at the time, chess games." She talks about how gaining this "invisible strength" is one of the benefits of her chess playing. This isn't just mentioned in the first paragraph, but is shown again when she says, " I discovered
that for the whole game one must gather invisible strengths and see the endgame before
the game begins." She likes that chess has all these secrets that must never be told, and prides herself on learning these as she continues to get better.
