Brief Explanations:

A flashback is a scene that interrupts the present action to show an event from the past. A foreshadow is a hint or clue about what will happen later in the story. In this excerpt, the old woman's words and actions do not refer to a past event (so it's not a flashback). Instead, they hint at a future event - the arrival of her "child" (who is likely not in a normal state, as the story of "The Monkey's Paw" involves supernatural and tragic consequences). This creates a sense of impending doom or something significant about to happen, which is characteristic of foreshadowing.
