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." |

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!" |

"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." |
