Mnemonic


[shu-] Sherlock Holmes is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house where he and his elder lay in a hammock 罒 net that hangs over the bathtub from supports bolted into the tile walls. They smoke their pipes and look out the small open bathroom window at the early 曙 daybreak 日 sun whose rays of light penetrate through their thick pipe smoke. Sherlock thinks seeing 曙 daybreak each day, even if from the bathroom window, is one of the elementary pleasures of life. His elder, who is just an older version of him, agrees.
