Masters in one abstract subject, they may remain children in the world; exquisite manipulators of the ideal, they may be erratic and clumsy in their earthly ways.

Big manipulators were coming up and grabbing as many of the half-ton sausages as they could, and lurching away to dump them onto skids or into lorries or just drop them on top of the bags of nutrient stacked beyond. Jeeps and cars would dart in, throw grapnels on the end of lines, and then pull away all the wax they could and return to throw their grapnels again.

But in the days of the Civil War there was a great dearth of skilful manipulators of the key.
Louis, San Francisco, in the towns and rural districts tributary to the cities, thousands spoke of Blacklock as their trusted adviser in matters of finance. My enemies and I had them, numerous and venomous enough to prove me a man worth while my enemies spoke of me as the "biggest bucket-shop gambler in the world." Gambler I was like all the other manipulators of the markets.
That is hard to tell for the world is full of unskilled, heavy-handed manipulators. I have seen quite a number of this type who had been brought into this unnecessary state by bungling doctors who were treating them for typhoid fever and its complications.
Needed there a greater motive than the speculation of his future exhibition? According to all appearance, industrious manipulators of children had worked upon his face.
