Exactly correct, you're up. Try to pick a well known book (More fun that way)

Hoping this is easy:

"After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the
Bulrushers, and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by
she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then
I didn't care no more about him, because I don't take no stock in dead
people."

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, no?

BTW the book that I was quoting earlier was also Twain; Pudd'nhead Wilson.

Hamlet53 has it.

I think this should be easy enough.

“What do you know about?”

“Parades. Will I be able to send out memos about parades?”

“As long as you don't schedule any.”

Thanks!

Here's one that seems appropriate for summertime:

"That anyone should care in this heat whose flushed lips he kissed, whose head made damp the pajama pocket over his heart!"

I'll make it easy:

"The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic--their retinas are one yard high. They look out of no face but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent nose."

Ha, yes. The billboard in The Great Gatsby.

"Whereas, if they'd only started on moral education," said the Director, leading the way towards the door. The students followed him, desperately scribbling as they walked and all the way up in the lift. "Moral education, which ought never, in any circumstances, to be rational."
