A Bookend Balance

Stretched tall on tiptoe! A small plastic clothespeg caught my eye right near the bottom shelf. Pop! Off came my right arm—don't worry, standard procedure—so I could slide it straight into the gap behind a thick novel. Leveraged down with all my weight. Click! The peg popped loose and bounced into the open. I picked it up, clipped it gently right onto the brim of my bowler hat, and reattached my arm with a firm snap. Instant fashion statement. Balanced, bold, and entirely functional!
