Господарската трапеза беше сложена, както по обикновение, под лозата, между бистрия и студен чучур на барата, който като лястовичка пееше, деня и нощя, и между високите бухлати чемшири, що се тъмнееха край зида, зиме и лете все зелени. Фенерът светеше, окачен на клончето на едно люлеково дръвче, което приятелски надвисваше миризливите си люлеки над главите на челядта.

I don’t think it’s going to work out. Winning...won’t help in my case," says Peeta.

“I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)”
