nearly midnight
Once when they were little lads their mother took them along when she went to help the women decorate the church for Easter . Some one asked her whether she had brought any flowers , and she replied that she had brought her `` ramas . '' This was evidently a cherished family story . When it was nearly midnight , Johnny announced that every one was going to his house to have `` some lil ' icecream and some lil ' MUSICA . '' He began to put out the lights and Mrs. Tellamantez led the way across the square to her CASA . The Ramas brothers escorted Thea , and as they stepped out of the door , Silvo exclaimed , `` HACE FRIO ! '' and threw his velvet coat about her shoulders .
