Mnemonic


[qu-] Quasimodo is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he is trying to buy some second-hand 顴 cheekbones to make his already-prominent 顴 cheekbones even more prominent, as he thinks that is beautiful. He trades in a 雚 stork and in exchange gets some 顴 cheekbones along with a 頁 page certificate verifying their authenticity. He then glues the 顴 cheekbones on his face with a 頁 page of glue paper.
