Marius nods, noting the way Liesel's voice goes a little quiet as she explains someone making her a book once. Clearly, he thinks as he listens, this person means a lot to her. He hopes the city will act on its kinder instincts and gift this book to Liesel one of these days. It sounds like a very precious treasure to her, and Marius can only hope she finds the book again.

"That must have been a very special book," he says, his own voice quiet. "But did you know, Darrow sometimes brings things from home for the people it brings here? So your book could show up one day, out of the blue, just like you did."

He hopes she finds comfort in the idea. He also hopes she eventually gets the book, and not, say, a devastating item from home, as has been mostly his own experience.
