Enid’s wedding dress……帮忙找一下这篇英语原文

Enid's wedding(婚礼)dress arrived at five o'clock in the evening just seventeen hours before her marriage!
“I must try it on, Mother!” she cried, as she ran upstairs.
Three minutes later Enid's cries brought her mother in. The dress was much too big for her. It was baggy in the front, and the neckline looked all wrong. Enid was in tears.
“Take it back to dressmaker's,” Mrs Bale said. “She must alter it tonight. Hurry now. Take it off and go.”
The dressmaker's shop was closed. “CLOSED FOR ONE WEEK'S HOLIDAY” said a notice on the door. Fresh tears rose to Enid's eyes. She ran home again to her mother.
“This is unlucky, ”Mrs Bale said.” But what are we going to do? Shall I ask Mrs Peters to help? She was a dressmaker once. I'm sure she could alter it for you.”
Mrs Peters was brought in and began to work. She could see what was wrong. She had to take in a lot of material at the front, and that was a big job. Then she altered the neckline—in fact she made it again. At ten o'clock the work was finished, and Enid tried the dress on. It fitted her beautifully.
The three women were having a cup of tea when the doorbell rang. Mrs Bale answered it and looked into the worried eyes of a fat young woman. The woman was carrying a large, flat box.
“Does Miss Enid Bale live here?” she asked breathlessly.
“Yes. She's my daughter.”
“Oh, I'm glad I've found you! There's been a mistake. Your daughter has my wedding dress, and I've got hers. And I'm getting married tomorrow! She held out the box to Mrs Bale.
