Before their execution, Widow Perry and her sons (Anonymous 92 and Anonymous 93) predict that Master Harrison will return in seven years. After Master Harrison was left in a pit, having been robbed and thrown in by Widow Perry and her sons, he lay for awhile before coming to. Then, not knowing where he was, he "was conveyed to a rock standing in the Sea on the coast of Turkey," where he remained for four days. He was then sold as a slave to a surgeon, for whom he worked as a gardner. When his master died, Master Harrison was able to return to England, and his own dwelling in Cambden, both fulfilling Widow Perry's prophecy and causing "no little astonishment and wonderful amazement of all his Friends and Relations."(7 - 9)
