There is more foreshadowing about the up-coming rebellion of the citizens in chapter 21, describing it as "somthing coming in the echoes, something light, afar off...there would arise the sound of foorsteps at [Lucie's] early grave." Lucie also foreshadows her death here but I believe that this whole revolution is going to be an 'adventure' and her assumed outcome will be altered by the christ figure, Sydney Carton. Just as Jesus said "let the children come to me" "...children had a strange sympathy with him...[and] Carton was the first stranger to whom little Lucie held out her chubby arms..."
In the beginning of the book when there was foreshadowing by spilt whine we see the outcome that was predicted when "people...set themselves with bleedding hands...round Defarge's wine-shop, and every human...had the tendancy to be sucked towards the vortex.."
