"The Uffenbach brothers are in Amsterdam. After having witnessed the lecture of the anatomy professor Ruysch, Uffenbach describes his collection of insects. Ruysch tells them it is time to go to a funeral and dress in black. That afternoon, the brothers visit the jeweler Schelde to see his porcelain shop. Schelde tells them it has costed him 80,000 guilders and that duke Ulrich van Brunswick had visited his shop. The shop was full of porcelain, and the brothers were asked to leave their epee and stick at the door to prevent them from knocking over anything. Uffenbach mentions that all the porcellain is blue."
