| | Chapter Mr Benjamin Buckram of Mr Sponge's Sporting Tour by Surtees |
 | | We should state that this unwonted journey was a desire to pay a visit to Mr Benjamin Buckram, the horse- dealers farm at Scampley, distant some mile and a half from where he was set down, a space that he now purposed travelling on foot. |
 | | Mr Benjamin Buckram was a small horse-dealer -- small, at least, when he was buying, though great when he was selling. |
 | | He dealt in second hand, that is to say, past mark of mouth horses; but on the present occasion Mr Sponge sought his services in the capacity of a letter rather than a seller of horses. |
