A trumpet-call is heard; people rush in from all sides; Rienzi addresses them; and after choruses, partly double-choruses, all go off to fight the patricians. There is plenty of bustle; there is tremendous vigour; and the scene affords chances for the stage manager to manipulate big crowds effectively.
Here we were, absolutely without any knowledge of the inner workings of the institution, strangers in London, being under assumed names, without business of any kind, and not only unable to give any references, but unable to stand any investigation. Exactly how we were to manipulate the bank we did not know.
Just then, however, Dean Ritchie uttered a familiar warning, and there was a general movement of commotion and dispersement among the group. "Scatter, fellows," was what Ritchie said. The Banbury contingent proceeded to sneak away. Some of Ritchie's crowd surrounded Bob Upton and cleverly tried to manipulate him out of view. Frank, turning, learned the motive for the maneuvers.
For an instant its fires flared and licked through the clinging blackness; it writhed half upright, threw itself forward, crashed down prostrate upon the enigmatic tablet which only its tentacles could manipulate. From Norhala's face the triumph fled. On its heels rushed stark, incredulous horror. The Mount of Cones shuddered.
The strange far-off oriental words which today scholars discuss, theosophists manipulate, and charlatans employ as catchpennies were common words in the every-day speech of the Hindu people, two or three thousand years ago.
The distributors are chiefly represented by the higher type of office workers, who are the "idea thinkers" of the business world, since they neither make nor handle products, but merely manipulate the symbols which stand for the products they seldom if ever see.

This might be due either to a greater understanding of the laws of physics i.e., the ability to manipulate light-energy in this manner, or to some purely psychic power volitional, etc. Of course, all such speculations as these are purely fantastic, until some proof of their possibility be forthcoming.
Tens of thousands of the poor might curse his name, but the financier and the speculator execrated him no more. He stretched a hand to protect or to manipulate the power of wealth in every corner of the country. Forcible, cold and unerring, in all he did he ministered to the national lust for magnitude; and a grateful country surnamed him the Colossus.
There was no hesitation or trouble with the left arm, but it was the other which, from appearances, refused to answer the call upon it. It was seen to move aimlessly about, but still was unable to help in aiming, and the hand could not manipulate the trigger an impotence which, if actual, was fatal. But who can trust an Indian?
Cowperwood and Addison had by now agreed, if this went through, to organize the Chicago Trust Company with millions back of it to manipulate all their deals. Kaffrath only saw a better return on his stock, possibly a chance to get in on the "ground plan," as a new phrase expressed it, of the new company.
