"'It will seem nothing to you. Such whims are not only impressive as we originate them, I think; they are not to be communicated. I have sometimes sat alone here of an evening, listening, until I have made the echoes out to be the echoes of all the footsteps that are coming by and by into our lives.'" Book 2, Chapter 6, Pg. 94
This quote is Lucie talking about the footsteps she continues hearing. Darnay acts as if they are nothing while to Lucie they mean so much more. She is saying we desire and believe different things, and we can not all agree on what is right and wrong. What she believes the footsteps represent are people coming into their lives in the near future. Carton comments that if this is true, then a great crowd must be on it's way.
