Word Entry 3 "A Good Man is Hard to Find"

1. "Shad had her big black valise that looked like the head of a hippopotamus in one corner (300)...
2. My guess: I'm thinking from the context of the story it's some sort of possession or item, something one brings when traveling somewhere. 
3. Definition: A small piece of luggage that can be carried by hand, used to hold clothing, etc. (Dictionary. com)
4. This makes sense to me, I can imagine what's happening in this part of the story better. The grandmother was carrying luggage into the car and through the description I can tell the luggage was very large.
