Being positive was the trait that got Effie through every year; each year was a chance for her district to do well. She never expected any of them to win, of course. However, one of these days, surely there would be a tribute from 12 who managed to make it into the final five. (Haymitch never seemed to catch on to that logic, though. To him, it was only win or lose. Talk about frustrating.)
So when Johanna asked, Effie just replied with another pleasant smile. "You never know!" she said. "Fingers crossed for sponsors, as always. How are you doing on that front, my dear?" She asked the last question with real sympathy; she couldn't imagine how difficult it would be for Johanna, unsociable as she was, to charm sponsors into sending her tributes gifts. Especially when she was so new to the circuit. "Sponsors can be quite sticky to work with, indeed."
