You can take two hundred and fifty, and you can take them with you to any place you like." The young man was already at the safe. The notes were between them, on the table. He counted quickly with the fingers of a born manipulator of money. When he had gathered up two hundred and fifty pounds, Laverick's hand fell upon his. "No more," he ordered sternly.
Carson was as clever a manipulator of capitalists as her husband. There were a few of the more important people of the city, such as Alexander Hitchcock, Ferdinand Dunster, the Polot families, the Blaisdells, the Anthons. There were also a few of the more distinctly "smart" people, and a number who might be counted as social possibilities.
If you've got money to back that opinion you just gave me it will express your notions without any more talk. But don't go borrow or or anything else." Dodd stared at the shrewd old political manipulator for a long time. "You have money to bet, have you?" he asked. Mr. Breed languidly drew forth a wallet which would make a valise for some men and carelessly displayed a thick packet of bills.
Not in all New York, filled as it is with people living and living well upon the manipulation of the weaknesses of their fellow beings not in all New York was there an adroiter manipulator than Eugene Jennings. He was harsh to brutality when he saw fit to be so or, rather, when he deemed it wise to be so. Yet never had he lost a paying pupil through his harshness.
The professional traders were, of course, keen students of psychology; and their success depended on their ability to guess whether or not a broker representing a big manipulator, like Tighe, had an order large enough to affect the market sufficiently to give them an opportunity to "get in and out," as they termed it, at a profit before he had completed the execution of his order.
He should, if possible, have been born, at any rate have passed some of his early years, or a large part of them, under the roof of the good old minister. His father should be, we will say, a business man in one of our great cities, a generous manipulator of millions, some of which have adhered to his private fortunes, in spite of his liberal use of his means.
I would defy the greatest expert to tell me, simply from the insect's appearance and without learning the facts by experiment, the manner of industry to which Phanæus Milon, for instance, devotes himself. Remembering the Onites, who are very similar in shape and who manipulate stercoral matter, he would look upon the foreigner as another manipulator of dung.
While diligently hammering away at the shoes, the old cobbler grows communicative, and in almost unintelligible brogue tells a complicated tale of Irish life, out of which I can make neither head, tail, nor tale; though nodding and assenting to it all, to the great satisfaction of the loquacious manipulator of the last, who in an hour hands over the shoes with the proud assertion, "They'll last yez, be jabbers, to Omaha."
For night work the manipulator is lighted either by one lamp, or by two lamps with reflector, placed laterally against it. This apparatus, although well known, and having been publicly experimented with, has not, to our knowledge, been applied practically. From a military standpoint, its short range will evidently not permit it to compete with optical telegraphic apparatus, properly so called.
McKenty took it, surprised and yet pleased at this evidence of business proficiency. He liked a strong manipulator of this kind the more since he was not one himself, and most of those that he did know were thin-blooded and squeamish. "Let me take this," he said.
