"...while they sat under the plane tree, talking, she kept his glass replenished. Mysterious backs and ends of houses peeped at them as they talked, and the plane tree whispered to them in its own way above their heads." (143)
This quote is significant because it shows how Lucie is a static character. She matches the description that women received: that they must serve others during this time period. She does so in the line, "she kept his glass replenished", showing how she's caring for the men around her. However, since the houses are watching and the tree's are whispering maybe it's a symbol that shows how Lucie is hiding something. That maybe she'd hiding a secret that everything else knows about but not the men around her.
