I believe the answer is O'Connor uses detailed descriptions to create compelling characters.
Answer: detailed descriptions.
In this excerpt, we can see that O'Connor takes great care in creating believable characters by using detailed descriptions. Without her descriptions, we would still know that the man is a tramp. However, by giving us so many details about his clothes, the way he wore his hat, and the way he walked, we can better understand why the old woman believed him to be a tramp and not a dangerous character.
