Enid's wedding(婚礼) dress arrived at five o'clock in the evening, just seventeen
36 before her marriage!
“I must try it on Mother!” she cried, as she ran
37 .Three minutes later Enid's cries brought her
38 up.The dress was much
39 for her. It was like a bag in the front, and the neckline looked all
40 . Enid was in
41 .
“Take it back to the dressmaker's,” Mrs Bale said.“She must
42 it tonight. Hurry now. Take it off and go.” The dressmaker's shop was closed.“Closed for One Week's Holiday,” said a
43 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?
44 I ask Mrs. Peters to help? She was a dressmaker once. I'm sure she could change it for you.” Mrs. Peters was
45 in and began to work. She could see 46 was wrong. She had to
47 it narrower at the front, and that was a big job. Then she changed 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.

48 the doorbell rang .Mrs. Bale answered it and
49 into the worried eyes of a
50 woman. The woman was carrying a large flat
51 .“Does Miss Enid Bale
52 here?" she asked breathlessly. “Yes, she's my daughter.” “Oh, I am
53 I've found you! There's been a
54 .Your daughter has my wedding dress, and I've got
55 . And I'm getting married tomorrow!” She held out the box to Mrs. Bale.
