The clotheslines show up often in the book. It is mentioned with the dog, the mule, it is where Michael goes to think and grieve, and it is the last thing Penny sees before dying. there are probably more instances than that, but I just got done and haven't re-read it yet to look closer. A clothespin keeps the item in place and steadies and supports it in an effort to make it better (clean). Maybe that is how Clay thought of Penny
A clothes peg for hanging laundry. The crucial scene takes place in the back yard near the clothes line. Sometimes people fasten pegs to their noses. ?
