Each man grave and taciturn, like two Automatons they buckled on their spurs, mounted and reined toward the trail.
"The Desert Valley"
Jackson Gregory
Treating our servants as if they were Automatons created solely for our use, and who, being paid a certain remuneration for their services, have no claim on us for kindness or sympathy, is a system very injurious to their morals and our own interests, and requires an amelioration.
"The Idler in France"
Marguerite Gardiner
They were but Automatons of instinct, meaning no evil.
"Penrod and Sam"
Booth Tarkington
