Jim of Hellas; or, In Durance Vile / The Troubling of Bethesda Pool

First story: 3 stars
An unconventional punishment for a prisoner leads to an unexpected twist of events.

Second story: 4 stars
Miss Bethesda attempts to help the daughter of her own former childhood flame achieve a runaway marriage to a worthy young man. She throws a party to disguise the runaways but there is a twist she didn't expect.

Both of these are feel-good stories and ones that would be enjoyable for the whole family.
