"The wine shop"

This is a 1st person view of a citizen that is scooping up wine from the ground with his hands.

       When the wine spilled, everyone from around the area went running to drink it off the ground.  Men, women, mothers, fathers, and even children drank it from off the dirt ground and cared no less then one another. Everyone was happy, having a cheerful time but I don't believe that's the only thing the author meant by it. I think he was foreshadowing that something wrong was going to happen soon. "the wine was red wine, and had stained the ground of the narrow street in the suburb of Saint Antoine in Paris, where it was spilled. It had stained many hands, too, and many faces, and many naked feet, and many wooden shoes...scrawled upon a wall with his fingers dipped in muddy wine lees-BLOOD." By this he meant that the "wine stains" are actually blood stains yet to come.

          "The time was to come, when that wine too would be spilled on the street stones, and when the stain of it would be red upon many there." That means that the red stains are interpreted as the wine stains and the future blood stains.  "And now that the cloud settled in Saint Antoine, which a momentary gleam had driven from his sacred countenance, the darkness of it was heavy-cold, dirt, sickness, ignorance, and want, were the lords in waiting on the saintly presence-nobles of great power all of them; but, most especially the last. That quote makes me think that in the bad scenario that ends in bloodshed, people of great power are involved. That is why it mentioned "most especially the last".
