"The Uffenbach brothers are in Groningen, visiting the coin and medal collection of the late Braun. The collection is for sale at Braun's stepdaughters Verboll. He comments on the high prices. The next afternoon, he visits the collection again and places a bid that is not accepted by the sisters. The next morning the brothers plan to climb the tower of the Martinikerk and ridicule the local pride of the height of this tower."
