The technique that the author Irving incorporates in this story is that of

  • Quickening the pace.

Quickening the pace is a technique that authors use to build suspense in a text.

In this technique, events take place in a very hasty manner that makes the reader wonder what next will happen, or what will be the final outcome.

We see this applied at the outset of this story, the fast manner in which the character wore his clothes, moved down the stairs, and tumbled over some pieces of furniture.

All of these actions infuse suspense in the reader who wonders what will happen next.
