We’ve met four characters so far but only Bailey is named – all others are characterized by relationships or actions (the grandmother, the children’s mother, and The Misfit). Interestingly, O'Connor calls the young woman “the children’s mother” instead of “Bailey’s wife” or providing her a name.
Even though Bailey is the only one named, the lady O'Connor calls “the grandmother” is grandmother to the children (and is Bailey’s mother). It seems like it’s all about the children, who are named later on.
Fun fact: a google images search for “cabbage face” yields multiple results.

Perfect foreshadowing–there is almost a film-like quality as the grandmother reads this news. As it’s the only significant dialogue in the first paragraph, the reader knows it’s important.
This line–and the story as a whole–is a prime example of how Flannery O'Connor works in the Southern Gothic mode, incorporating characters who have crossed physical, sexual, and psychological boundaries – in her terminology: “freaks.”
The grandmother talks about one such escapee en route to Florida (the same place her son wants to take the family). She worries that crossing such boundaries, or being at all like those who do, will lead to bad consequences.
News from local and regional newspapers often inspired O'Connor’s characters. The Misfit, the pathological killer who murders an entire family in this story, was apparently fabricated from newspaper accounts of two criminals who had terrorized the Atlanta area in the early 1950s.
