I don't think that Phoebe manipulates Holden rather than she is her innocent self. She has no pretences and Holden can't find anything to hold against her, indeed he doesn't want to find anything as well. His little sister is the one constant in his life free from "phoniness". Holden confesses to Phoebe that he would like to be a catcher in the rye: he pictures a lot of children playing in a big field of rye around the edge of a cliff. Holden imagines that he would catch them if they started to go over the cliff. Putting Phoebe back to bed, Holden decides to call up Mr. Antolini, a former teacher at Elkton Hills who now teaches English at NYU.
