86: thinking they could get away

The prospect of loss hardly gripped their mind.Delicately planned with a gripping alibi
and that rush of suspicion grabbed our thoughts with doubt.

This act - committed by the neighborhood girls
and the mother to blame for
with their faults and their words,

adds up to the conclusion that the law has its gates:
their crimes they are guilty for;
their punishment awaits.
