Mnemonic


[li-] Link is [2] inside the [-(e)ng] English manor where he comes across a strange 亼 tepee set up in the middle of the velvet carpet. He goes up to it and lies on his 厶 elbows and uses his 耳 ear to try 聆 to listen to what is inside. Sure enough, it is a bunch of bickering butlers complaining about the rich kids, and Link is able 聆 to listen to all of their gossip.
