" a group of more interest appeared near the hearth" (Bronte, 337).
Bronte is once again foreshadowing the plot of her novel. By introducing these new characters with fire, she is telling the reader that these people are good and will have a positive influence on the novel.

is it the fire or the hearth that is most important here? I ask because look at the role of fire in terms of Rochester's home -- or perhaps fire means something other than 'goodness'
I like how you suggest Bronte is foreshadowing through her imagery and setting details
