Have you got anything in the parcel line for me , John ? '' The Carrier put his hand into a pocket of the coat he had taken off ; and brought out , carefully preserved in moss and paper , a tiny flower-pot . `` There it is ! '' he said , adjusting it with great care . `` Not so much as a leaf damaged . Full of buds ! '' Caleb 's dull eye brightened as he took it , and thanked him . `` Dear , Caleb , '' said the Carrier . `` Very dear at this season . '' `` Never mind that . It would be cheap to me , what ever it cost , '' returned the little man . `` Anything else , John ? '' `` A small box , '' replied the Carrier . `` Here you are ! '' '' ` For Caleb Plummer , ' '' said the little man , spelling out the direction . '' ` With Cash . '
