Mnemonic

In the outhouse’s living room (ou3), the chief (首) lends his piece pipe to Sherlock Holmes (sh). Sherlock smokes the weed (䒑) in the pipe and looks at himself in a hand mirror (自), thinking that he’s uber cool and that he’d pass as a quite formidable chief himself.

Prompt snippets

The chief is a police chief, a middle-aged man wearing a crisp, navy-blue wool uniform adorned with polished silver badges, gold-braided epaulets, and a stiff peaked cap. His face features deep-set eyes and a neatly trimmed gray mustache, with a heavy leather utility belt cinched around his waist.
