"...though she was a perfectly happy young wife, when her work would slowly fall from her hands, and her eyes would be dimmed. For there was something coming in the echoes, something light, afar off, and scarcley audible yet, that stirred her heart too much (pg. 218)"
This passage makes an interesting allusion to how a person's happiness can be slightly affected with unexplained unrest. Lucie is a perfectly happy young woman--she's got a lovely family and life--yet for a few moments, she is captured by something she cannot explain. While, it's probably another way of Dickens's to foreshadow the turmoil that would occur in the coming months, it contains a grain of truth in the belief that--even for a content woman, there can be forces, that can overpower your defenses and, temporarily, capture you.
