Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in [1] front of the [-(e)n] infirmary where he is being promoted to the rank of 紳 gentry for his good works he did at the infirmary. He stands there in his portly armor in the lawn of the infirmary as a doctor gives him a 申 wheel made of 糸 silk: the official token of the 紳 gentry. Shrek feels just a bit more classy than usual.
