Mnemonic


[shu-] Sherlock Holmes is in [1] front of the [-_] house where he is trying to 紓 relieve some pressure in his head from thinking too hard about detective cases. He wraps a 予 ceremonial mace he received from the queen in a bunch of 糸 silk and then lies in the grass while hitting his face with it, gently. He slowly begins to feel more and more 紓 relieved. Or maybe he just gave himself a concussion.
